My plans and ideas for Ubuntu
I see community support as one of the major differentiators between Ubuntu and other operating system, not a substitute for traditional support, but one of the key benefits. I therefore would like to help advance the coordination and foster innovation in the Ubuntu community support infrastructure. I see myself as being very capable of enabling support greatness in the community; This is want I want to continue to spend my time on. Apart from the work of the people at AskUbuntu, I am very sceptical about the heath of the current community support infrastructure, and I would like to do research to identify the problems and, hopefully, solve them. I also would like to eventually start a Project to advance the use of Ubuntu in academia and science.
