Past jobs: system administrator for various university research groups, both in Canada and in the US. These jobs mostly consisted of working on Unix servers (AIX, Solaris), Linux, and Windows machines, and being the all-around support guy for the end-users.

Programming skills: I do Fortran coding for my day-time job, a skill not much in demand in the world of Ubuntu. But I can do Perl and Shell scripting when needed.

Experience with Linux: I have been using Linux, both as a hobby and as a job, since the late 1990s: Red Hat, Fedora, Mandrake, and now Ubuntu (since a pre-release version of Warty in September 2004). I have been using and maintaining Unix servers since the early 1990s.

I would like to be considered as an Ubuntu Member based these contributions to the Ubuntu community in the last 7 months:

* Between October 4 2004 and April 9 2005 I have posted 350 messages on the Ubuntu-users list, 42 times on the Ubuntu-devel list and 17 times on the Sounder list. The majority of these messages (especially on ubuntu-users) were written to answer questions of users. Recently I started trying to help users on the irc #ubuntu channel in a similar manner.
On May 10 2005, I officially [http://people.ubuntu.com/~mako/cc-summary-20050510.html became] an [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/processes/newmember Ubuntu Member].
Line 34: Line 18:
* I have been maintaining the ical version of the Ubuntu [Calendar]



* I am a member of the [CanadianTeam] LoCo team



* I have submitted a few patches for inclusion in Ubuntu:

  * directly to the MOTU team (accepted in ddclient 3.6.2-3ubuntu1)
  * via the mailing list(http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-March/005895.html
  * via the bugzilla (https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7180#c2 and https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1580#c23 )


* Between October 3 2004 and April 10 2005 I have filled 37 bugs in the bugzilla (7 still open), and I have contributed in one form or another to a total of 153 bugs in the bugzilla. The main emphasis I have been trying to achieve was to help with the initial bug triage in the hope that this will make the life easier for the Ubuntu developers and allow them to concentrate on serious bugs.

The Future:

While maintaining my current level of involvement in Ubuntu, I'm hoping in incoming weeks to increase my participation in these 2 areas:

* Recently I have started learning about xml documentation and docbook in the hope of helping the [DocumentationTeam].

* I'm planning in learning to create Debian packages to lend a hand to the [MOTU] team later this spring.
