Ubuntu History

Ever since November 2005 I've become a Windows-free Ubuntu-user. On 14 February 2006 I joined the forum of Ubuntu-nl. In September 2006 I was asked to become a forum moderator, a request I couldn't resist. Also I became a member of Ubuntu-be. In order to promote Ubuntu in Belgium I've been the organizing team leader of several Ubuntu-fairs. I also actively join the meetings on IRC and in real life for Ubuntu-be and Ubuntu-nl.

My main goal is to promote Ubuntu in several ways: I give support on the forum of Ubuntu-nl, I'm moderating this forum, I m searching and coaching volunteers for promotional activities on fairs and Release Parties and I give support to the Ubuntu-nl teams.

Testimonials

I have been working with Bart Broeckx for a long time now (for more than a year) as co-moderator of the Ubuntu-NL forums. He's a really good guy. Always friendly, not afraid to speak out his mind, and very social towards the community. We have met a lot of times in real life too. He's exactly the same in real life. A friendly, social guy that likes to communicate with the community. I would love to see Bart become an official Ubuntu member, as he has put a lot of time and effort into maintaining the Ubuntu-NL LoCo forums and into helping many new Ubuntu users. -- WesleyStessens [04 october 2007]

bartek is an active moderator on the dutch forums, just recently organized a large ReleaseParty in Hasselt and seems to be quite active at several Belgian LoCo activities. I can't even remember him becoming a moderator (yes, it has been that long). Personal note: great guy to be around and drink a beer with. SebastianSchauenburg [22 October 2007]
