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:

Launchpad

In Launchpad, I help triage bug reports as a member of the [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Ubuntu BugSquad] and [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bugcontrol Ubuntu Bug Control] teams. Testing development releases of Ubuntu has drawn me more toward bug triaging.

I also help in the Answers section of Launchpad from time to time, though I prefer to use the forums.

Wiki Involvement

For the UF Beginners Team, I maintain our [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners wiki area] as head of the [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Team/FocusGroups/Wiki Wiki Focus Group], and have rewritten and/or reorganized most of the team wiki pages. 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.

Summer of 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.

Completed Work

An up to date listing of pages I have done major work on:

Future Plans

I originally intended on getting more involved with FOSS programming once I am settled down in a few months, but with the growth of the UF Beginners Team and my activities as a forum moderator, this may end up in the back seat for awhile.

I have spoken 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. While I had a release almost ready to be used by the Beginners team, this has also taken a back seat because of recent activities.

Eventually I plan on becoming an Ubuntu Member, but until that time, there is more work to do!

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 in August.

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.
