| I live in Canada, in Quebec and I speak English and French fluently. Currently going to university as a Software Engineering student, full time this fall. A big obligation, but I'll still find time to be around to help where time permits. I'm not a professionally trained IT person, mostly self taught up until this point. I have had over 10 years experience with Windows (actually started with DOS 6.0 and 95, but then was mostly gaming). Got into Linux due to long term frustration with Windows, and refusal to be Mac guy. Happy ever since. | I live in Quebec, Canada and I speak English and French fluently.

| In terms of Ubuntu, going to continue supporting via forums on the Beginner and Main Support sections as best I can. Might also update my old documentation on installation, though most of it still holds quite well, I should hope I think that, I mean I'm the author. Might joint the documentation team once settled in, I have a fancy for writing. | In terms of Ubuntu, going to continue supporting via forums on the Beginner and Main Support sections as best I can.

About Me
I'm starcraft.man on the Ubuntu forums, not much to say on it. I'm a man. I play starcraft. starcraft.man. Nothing deep or philosophic. I actually just created it from the first thing that popped into my head after my first few preferred usernames were taken. I bet that put your mind at ease.

Not much else to say, I've helped at the Ubuntuforums for quite a while and know plenty of folks. Only serious blip was a year+ of inactivity I had, unfortunate, but all is well now and even during heavy study I should be able to maintain suitable activity.

Contributions to the Ubuntu Community
Support
Ubuntu Forums as starcraft.man . I try to focus on those threads with 0 replies in the main support categories and beginner section. After 2500 posts, I'd like to think I helped quite a few people along the way with my diagnostic experience, I'm still learning every day though.
Forum Guides:
- Installation Guide for Ubuntu Was frustrated explaining installation every time, so I created my own guide in my own style. I hope some people found it useful over the years, I should update it though most holds true just the same.
Future Plans
Not really certain at the moment. I'd like to think I could find a job as a programmer for Ubuntu or another project I believe in but that seems a bit distant since I'm just starting my degree.
