It doesn't need to be an ##essay, one or two lines would be fine. You should also list how you first came across Ubuntu. For example: === The Radio Guy === I started pursuing and obtaining goals in the Amateur Radio field my freshman year of college. I obtained my Technicians license in the spring of 2009, and have proceeded to get involved in CAUHF(Central Arkansas Ultra High Frequency group). I run a remote link out of my house, that connects to radios in California and 3 parts of Arkansas. I also run a station out of my car with a Yeasu FT-8800. This hobby allows me to work with electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. === The Storm Guy === After I obtained my Ham Radio license, I took a course and became a registered storm spotter for the Nation Weather Service based out of Little Rock, AR. This allows me to report extreme weather circumstances to the NWS. I will also be part of any emergency severe weather response that takes place in the town I live. In addition to responding to severe weather, I am on-line with other spotters around the state using the [[http://www.warnim.com/warnim/|WarnIM Emergency Communication]] software in correlation to my Storm radar and analysis software to coordinate what exactly is going on weather wise during times of Sever Weather. === The Programming Guy === In fourth grade I made a mistake. I started to play with programming and have never quit. For most of my early school years I dabbled in software but mainly stuck to strict html text editor for websites. Since then I have branched off into many different areas. I am familiar with the following: Software: * Adobe Dreamweaver * Adobe Photoshop * SMF Forum * UltraEdit * Notepad ++ * Gedit * Code::Blocks * Eclipse * Dr. Java * NetBeans * MS Visual Studio * WordPress * Byond Programming Languages: * PHP * HTML * C * C++ * ASM * MIPS ASM * Java Libraries * SDL * SDL_image * SDL_ttf * SDL_mixer === Life Story of a Guy === I was born and raised in Arkansas, United States. I played alot of video games growing up, and as a consequence I learned alot about windows. Most of my friends came over to my house for me to fix their computers. Changed high school in the 11th grade, and attended the Area Vocational School for Computer Engineering and Networking. Graduated high school from Pottsville, AR. I am now attending Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, AR for a BS degree in Computer Science. In December of 2009 I installed Ubuntu... Now I am here :-) == Ubuntu Participation == ## This section is very important. It is the place where you group all you list all your contributions to Ubuntu and its ##Community. === Beginners Team === ## Note that headings with 3 = do not place a horizontal line across the page. Here is an example of what you may wish to ##write here: I am not a member of the Beginners Team yet. I am currently in the process of joining it and have [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man| Starcraf.man ]] as a master. I wish to join this team because of the values it upholds. I aim to become a team member by Spring of 2011. ## === Ubuntu Forums === ## This sub section is an overview of your forum contributions. It should have a link to your profile as well as a ##description of which sub forums you tend to post in. This overview should also include information such as approx number ##of posts and join date. === Internet Relay Chat === ## Do you use IRC regurlarly? If so, post your registered nickname and the channels you are often present in. For example: My registered IRC nickname is Valindil89. I am looking forward to helping Ubuntu Community Members through this medium, and getting to know the members as well. I am usually present in the following channels: 1. #ubuntu-beginners 2. #ubuntu-beginners-dev 3. #ubuntu-beginners-cafe 4. #ubuntu-beginners-team 5. #ubuntu-programming 6. #ubuntu-beginners-launchpad 7. #ubuntu-beginners-wiki 8. ##C 9. ##C++ 10. ##C++basic 11. ##java 12. ##OpenGL 13. ##opengl3 14. #sdl == Linux User Group (LUG) == ## Are you a member of any Linux User Groups? If you are let people know, not everything on your wiki has to be centered ##around Ubuntu. Anything to do with open source is also good thing to tell people about. For example: I do not attend any LUG's currently, though it is something I would like to get involved with. I hope to find out more about any LUG's near to me and attend a meeting soon. == Current Projects == === Linux === Right now as a 2 week old Linux user (1-1-2010)I am getting acquainted with the various tools and features of Linux. Some of the items are: * Grub 2 boot-loader * Gparted * Virtual-box * Working with Command line === Programs === I am always working on some sort of program. I see hands on getting to work as the best way to learn. Some programs in progress: * Open Source Encryption (Java - More information for this will be available in the coming future) * Open Source Simple Falling Blocks Game == Goals For The Future == ## This should be a list of a few things that you would like to achieve in the near and far future. It can also be things ##that you would like to sustain. ## List items should be in the format demonstrated below. 1. Learn the Wiki Markup Language 2. Learn more about Ubuntu 3. Continue to get Friends and Family trying Ubuntu 4. Become an Ubuntu Beginners Team member 5. Continue to offer assistance on IRC 6. Join a LUG 7. Teach others about Ubuntu and how to use Ubuntu 8. Provide Assistance Focused in Programming Languages. == Testimonials == If anyone wants to post a testimonial for me please edit this section! ## If you decide to apply for Ubuntu Membership it is advised that you have some testimonials written by other people. ##You should leave this section empty. ---- CategoryHomepage
