Contributions to Ubuntu

I am a regular contributor to the [:UbuntuForums] and am on the Absolute Beginners Team and Unanswered Posts Team (see below).

I am also trying to spend more time helping with bug reports on Launchpad, and have joined the [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Ubuntu BugSquad] and [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Ubuntu Bug Control] teams.

UF Teams

UF Work

Aside from my work with the UF teams and doing lots of general help on the forums, here are a couple of short guides I have written:

Wiki Work

For the Beginners Team, I maintain our [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners wiki area] and have rewritten and/or reorganized almost all of the team wiki pages, which is an ongoing process. I am also on the [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-doc-students Ubuntu Documentation Students] and [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki Ubuntu Wiki] teams in an effort to contribute more to the community docs.

Community Documentation

I have also helped lead the charge to get the community wiki up to date in the summer of 2008, with the help of the UF BT Wiki Focus Group and support from the Ubuntu Documentation Team. We have implemented [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryDeletion CategoryDeletion] as well as started work on [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryCleanup CategoryCleanup] and [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryNeedsExpansion CategoryNeedsExpansion]. I recruited members from the team to help with this effort, which we are calling the Summer of Documentation.

Future Plans

I intend on getting more involved with FOSS programming once I am settled down in a few months. At that time, I hope to join some small projects, and maybe start one or two of my own. I am currently speaking with [https://launchpad.net/~kidders79 Stephen Kidney] about expanding a web based tracker that is used by the Unanswered Posts Team so that it can be used between different UF teams.

My "home" is really on the forums, but I will continue to work on Launchpad and the wiki.

Personal Information and Experience

Originally from northern California, I graduated from the [http://www.usc.edu/ University of Southern California] in Los Angeles with a BS in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I have accepted a position as a software engineer with Lockheed Martin and will be moving to Pennsylvania later this year.

As a side job, I maintain my roommate's film production company's website, [http://www.mirrorimagesltd.com/ Mirror Images LTD].

My first experience with *nix came from using SunOS Solaris UNIX at my university beginning in 2004. I started with linux in 2006 and started using Ubuntu in 2007 after Feisty Fawn was released and there was a stable version of the ntfs-3g driver. I dual boot my laptop with Ubuntu and XP, my desktop with Ubuntu and Vista, and experiment with other linux distributions on a spare laptop.

While in school, I joined my school's [http://linux.usc.edu/ LUG], but unfortunately we only had a few meetings since there was not a lot of interest in group. I did, however, second the nomination of trading their RHEL mirror for an Ubuntu one, which they did. I have already subscribed to the mailing list for the [http://www.phillylinux.org/ Philadelphia LUG] since I will be living in the region.

I also host a Counter-Strike 1.6 game server and clan, you can find our website [http://www.freewebs.com/fucla here]. The server, which has been up since 2004, runs on a tower with CentOS 5.1 and is hosted out of my apartment in Los Angeles. My first experience with linux was when I switched the server from Windows XP to Fedora Core 5 in 2006.
