| I have been using Ubuntu since the release of 5.04 Hoary Hedgehog and I have been playing catch up ever since. Not too long ago I purchased a laptop from System 76 that I am very proud of it mostly because it ships with my favorite Linux distribution - Ubuntu. Even though I have worked with and have personally tinkered with various flavors of Linux (SuSe, Fedora, Mandriva, Arch, et al) none have matched the richness of Ubuntu. I have truly made Ubuntu an undeniable part of my life. I am committed to advocating the use of Ubuntu in my community. |

Testimonials
Jimmy Harris is a great asset for Ubuntu and the Florida Local Community Team. He has been the Team Contact and organizer for all events the Florida Team has taken part of in Orlando. He has made a great effort to attend every team meeting we've had since the begining, and has provided the team with very good ideas on how and where we can make improvements. He has not done this in a critical way, but genuinely in efforts to help improve the team overall. He is involved with other Ubuntu Projects and is a great contributor for all of those other teams. Another really cool thing about Jimmy, He is Florida Team's resident DJ, and represented the Team DJ'ing for the Florida Linux Show earlier this year. With outstanding members like Jimmy it's no wonder LoCo's Rule! I would highly recommend Jimmy as an Ubuntu Member, without hesitation. -- itnet7 2009-05-20 03:47:06
