vish
I have been using Ubuntu as the primary OS since around June 2008. Recently , I'v started converting a few of my friend's and family members' systems to Ubuntu/Xubuntu.
I usually do artwork for apps or projects which are in need of artwork.
I'm not actually a programmer. [But i have submitted one minor patch
, which changes the default options in compiz for a papercut bug]

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.

Future Goals
- Do artwork/mockups as and when the need arises.
- Create a Ubuntu-sepcific 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 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
