I am a Ubuntu user since the 5.04 release, the Hoary Hedgehog. It was my first real introduction to a Linux system. Since then, I never stopped to enjoy learning to use it. = Contributions = Here a list of some of my contributions. == Documentation == * UbuntuPackagingGuide: I worked with JordanMantha for creating this guide. Since I didn't really knew anything about packaging, when I started it, my contributions were mainly geared toward describing the tools packagers uses. I also wrote most of the section called ''Packaging with Debhelper.'' == Artwork == * I did several splashes images for Ubuntu for Breezy Badger, that I posted in this [[http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=108761&page=3|thread]]. I also distributed the source file for the image * I did upstart's [[http://upstart.ubuntu.com|logo]], with the help of ScottJamesRemnant. I'm quite proud of the result. == Bug Report == * https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/sbcl/+bug/34257 : My first bug report. * http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340422 : This was my first upstream bug I reported. I particularly like this one, because it's one of those bug that can be only triggered after an exact sequence of steps. It's like a secret code for crashing the application. * https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+bug/58518 : An upstream bug in upstart. * https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/libming/+bug/64535 : An UVF exception ''This is just my favorite bug reports.

The list can be found here: [[https://launchpad.net/people/avassalotti/+tickets]] I also started a [[https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-helpteam|new team]] which is goal is to provide free support to Ubuntu users. I also done a significant amount of support in the IRC channels. == Community == * I started UbuntuTrivia, which is a themed quiz about anything that can be interesting. * When I got the time, I try my best to help on UbuntuWeeklyNews. = Future Plans = * Debug and improve applications provided by Ubuntu. (ie. gnome-app-install, update-manager, upstart) * Help to coordinate the efforts between the developers. * Improve the existing documentation. * Maintain the packages in Universe and possibly in Main too. = Related Wikipages = <> ---- CategoryHomepage
