My plans and ideas for Ubuntu in the near and far future
At the moment I only have one plan for ubuntu, and I am already working on it.
My plan is to bridge gaps between other linux distros. Some people see ubuntu as a 'light hearted' linux distro. It is not, it is just more user-friendly than others, Gentoo seem to do this a bit, and I wish for everyone to understand that no distro is better than another, just different. I myself like the need of technical know-how to use Gentoo well, while I also like ubuntu for the warm-hearted community feel 
My contributions to Ubuntu
I have contributed to ubuntu in a few different ways. I spend all my spare time in #ubuntu and #ubuntu-motu. Both helping out and learning whenever and wherever I can. I even got +u status on freenode, as I am eager to help in so many different aspects of ubuntu. I always follow the Code of Conduct when I help others.
In the way of packaging, I have only made changes to one, which is the 'tea text editor'. For that package I added a new .desktop file, edited the changelog and control file, before presenting the debdiff to my universe sponsor, LaserJock(Jordan Mantha), who I believe uploaded it to the repositories. (I am more of a 'helping-out' person, rather than a packager at this point in time).
I also help out whenever I can on Launchpad, with looking at bug reports and answers, then adding my bug comments and answers into them.
