I joined the UWN & news team for issue 425 as a summary writer. By issue 487 I was adding articles to the doc for the next issue though only for Planet (from my liferea feeds). At issue 502 I was finally forced to use a browser and filling-the-doc and preparing for summary writers. I was sending the the summary emails by #512, and sometimes pasted to wiki for editing, running [upd/sec] scripts & sending email to editors. | |

About Me
I'm a retired applications developer (medical issues). My skill-set however is mostly unhelpful; relating to old 'blue dinosaurs'.
I first used GNU/Linux around 1998 but for years only used distros that contained GNU in their name (mostly Debian). It wasn't until ~2010 that I finally tried Ubuntu. Some thanks to Computer Bank Victoria (https://www.computerbank.org.au/), who both introduced me to Debian GNU/Linux, and then later allowed me to appreciate Ubuntu.
