Summary
I am a teenager and I have been using Ubuntu for over 2 years now. My first encounter with ubuntu was when I got frustrated with Windows and wanted to look for an alternative. Since then I recommend Ubuntu to all the people I come in contact with and I am happy with what I found. Most of my work is in the field of Computer Vision with UCF : the art of making computer see what we do using mathematics, I just learned about hosting code on Launchpad and I have to say this is amazing. I am also planning to use my project in school and making more use of Launchpad with hosting code
Launchpad Profile
Contributions
Indirect: I have been promoting the use of Ubuntu in the community I live in and used to live in (back in India). So far I have been able to get over 400 installations of Ubuntu done and everyone seems to be happy.
Direct: I have been helping out answering questions, working and solving bugs, I have created my own project where I have a script that converts DICOM format to .pgm format for training classifiers and other SVM Kernels. I also have prepared images for training that are available for download. I am also working with OpenCV modifying the makefiles so their integration with OpenMP increases and the training process goes on much faster. Since I just joined Ubuntu my knowledge is limited but I am the kind of person who learns quick...
Future Plans
My plan in recent future is to learn more Ubuntu so I can actually make patches and help other more than what I can now. I also intend to use Launchpad as a primary code hosting site for my school and my own use. I would want to contribute more and more into the documentation and most of all make others aware of Ubuntu. Why use Windows when one can use something atleast 50 times better for free....
Thanks,
Vikram
