Who I am, what I do, my involvement with the Ubuntu community

Who I am

I am a teenager passionate about technology. I have been generally interested in it for about 4 years, but I have been using Ubuntu since February of 2015. I transitioned to Lubuntu in early July, because I liked the interface better, and I soon then got involved.

wxl, and the Padawan/Master relationship

I met wxl, and we established a Padawan/Master relationship. This is the same terminology used by Linux Padawan, although we met in the Lubuntu IRC channels. Through my passion of learning about Linux, I kept talking with him, and he has helped me tremendously. I cannot thank him enough for all the time and effort he has spent with me, and he has truly helped my Linux experience go a lot smoother(although I had to meet him halfway).

My involvement with the Ubuntu US Wisconsin LoCo Team

In August 2015, I looked and saw that the Ubuntu US Wisconsin LoCo Team was not active, and I wanted to do all I could to change that. So I contacted Anthony Hook about bringing new energy to the team, and to my surprise, he responded. So I have been working with Anthony to get to know a lot of the people. As of November 16, 2015, Anthony transferred the position of Contact to me. I have been doing my best to help with meetings, communication, and just getting to know a few of the people. I scheduled a Meet and Greet meeting, to get a feeling for who was around, and we had a great turnout. We will continue to have monthly meetings, and maybe soon get verified. I am tremendously excited for our direction, and it will be an honor to help facilitate.

Technical Contributions to Lubuntu

In late August 2015 and early September 2015, I did some investigating, and I found QA. At first, because my computer at the time didn't have hardware virtualization support, I just did Package QA, but I didn't quite understand what that meant. I took a short hiatus from that until I got my new computer in late September. I then ventured into ISO QA, and although I have done little portions, I have helped a little around there.

My goals, and the future

Eventual Ubuntu Membership

I am very interested in getting my Ubuntu Membership. I think that if I take the time to learn now, and keep doing events and meeting with the LoCo as well as some more technical contributions, I would be able to apply in June of 2016 and obtain my membership. I hope that I find a more sustained way to contribute by then.

To-do list of Contribution Options to Explore

These are on my to-do list of contribution options to explore:

  • Bug triage
  • Documentation
  • IRC
  • Website improvements for the QA tracker
  • Development
    • LXQt
    • Git
    • tmux
    • irssi

And many more, although these are what I can think of at the time.

Beyond the world of Ubuntu

Ubuntu is not the only computer project I have. To be a well-rounded geek, I like to learn many different skills.

Certifications

I plan on getting these certifications before the end of 2016:

  • CompTIA A+
  • LPI
    • Linux Essentials
    • LPIC-1
    • LPIC-2
    • MAYBE LPIC-3

Programming Languages

I would really like to learn how to program better. I get the concepts, I just need to learn several languages that I have been wanting to learn for a good time now:

  • C
  • Python
  • C++
  • Drupal
  • Java
  • PHP

Debian

I have become fascinated with Debian, so in the future, I might give them a hand, maybe help with upstream tasks and help adopting them downstream. Who knows? But sometime in the future, I do plan on getting involved with them.

My hiding places

I am usually on #phillw and #lubuntu-offtopic on Freenode.

Google Hangouts.

Reddit.

Twitter.

Google+(less often then the other ones Wink ;) ).

Email.

Google.

Testimonials

If you want to vouch for my sustained contribution or if you have something nice to say about me, write it below! Wink ;)
