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.

Fridge, Ask Ubuntu [QA-]Testing & irc
For the Ubuntu 17.10 freeze I started posting news to the fridge (http://fridge.ubuntu.com/).
Ask Ubuntu - https://askubuntu.com/users/469152/guiverc
QA-Testing - see http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers (or http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers/top100) but primarily 18.10 onwards & x86.
I've tried to contribute to the Lubuntu Team recently; intention being packaging (a recent attempt of a package exists in my PPA for testing purpose) but so far I've not got it yet. I have however helped with testing bug fixes but proof of this would be in lp.bug.reports.
Minor wiki edits (updates when I see them & feel equipped to update the material; usually the minimum change necessary to make it accurate and not re-writes). Some of these are on request of people on IRC, Ask Ubuntu.
I'm regularly on IRC & respond to anything I can.
