I have been using Ubuntu as the primary OS since around June 2008. Before that , I tried it but had a few hardware problems. Ubuntu is my first linux experience. And have been sticking with it without second thoughts.
I usually do artwork for apps or projects which are in need of artwork. Triage bug reports in launchpad. I'm not actually a programmer. [But i have submitted one minor patch , which changes the default options in compiz for a papercut bug]

- Humanity-icon team [elementary art team] , working closely with the design team in the theme's direction required for Ubuntu and helped in the smooth transition from Human to Humanity theme during Karmic cycle.
- Papercutter's Team , have been helping out with papercut bugs long before a Papercutters team was even formed. I have only submitted one patch , but most of my work is triaging , contacting upstream devs and contacting members interested in fixing the bugs
Member of the BugControl team and taking part during Hugdays
- Breathe-icon team .
- Notify-osd icons : Noticed that the design team was a bit busy and that the notify-osd icons had to be redone with different orientation, took up the task and submitted new set of battery icons for notify-osd. Which are currently being used since Karmic.
- Icon work for software-center.
Mockups for Update-manager , software-center [and a couple of other projects , ]
- Followed a launchpad bug upstream and I noticed Empathy Upstream devs requested icons for empathy and hence I'v been contributing to empathy too.
Worked with another artist[Ulissee] and Submitted icons for Upstream Poppler to enable annotations support in evince , which should land in Lucid. [was informed of this by another member , since users noticed that annotations support was missing in Karmic]
- Created the Lernid icon.
- Created the Title page for Ubuntu-Manual team. [also a member of the Ubuntu-manual design team]
Actively Remote-participated in UDS Lucid since I was directly involved in a few of the discussions . Remotely followed discussions of UDS Karmic but participated to a minimum back then , was mainly observing the proceedings.
- IRC support in #ubuntu-artwork , #ayatana and a regular presence in #ubuntu+1 , #ubuntu-desktop , #ubuntu-bugs , #ubuntu-x where I help users when i can.
- Actively participate in the ubuntu-artwork and ayatana Mailing list and a few other mailing lists

Future Goals
- Become a part of the Ubuntu Artwork Packagers team.
- Do artwork/mockups as and when the need arises.
- Create a Ubuntu-specific art request wiki page for use by Ubuntu related projects , which the community-art members can work on. [Already spoke about this to kwwii and wheels are in motion ]
- Create a new interesting theme and try to get it included in the ubuntu-community themes. [have a rough plan in my head , and it is partially in progress]
- Upstream gnome-icon theme devs have asked me to start and maintain a new package in upstream itself , for extra icons [MIME and drives], will be hoping to do that as soon as possible.
- If I ever get free time of atleast 6 months to refresh programing skills and really work on programming.
- Hopefully become an Ubuntu Member
