My history in FOSS and Ubuntu (summary)
The Ubuntu family is the only FOSS project I contribute to. I join the Ubuntu Quality team (and as a result the Ubuntu community in general) just after the release of alpha 3 in 12.10. I have since found many bugs, made manual ISO testcases and run an Ubuntu-classroom session on the program testdrive. In February 2013 i was given a trial to be head of testing for Xubuntu because I was the only person who put their hand up for the position.

Future Goals
My main goals within the FOSS community are: to become an Ubuntu member, become a developer for Ubuntu (Xubuntu specifically) and get a blog working for Planet Ubuntu. Outside of the FOSS community my main goal is to finish high school and get a job in the I.T. industry.
Testdrive
I've been trying since i heard about it to improve testdrive, to me it is one of the most important programs in the testing community. However it has had many bug and has not got a proper maintenance team.
Xubuntu
I run Xubuntu on all of my PCs capable of it and have tried to help the development of it whenever possible, i've found many bugs and have helped in the writing of the magazine articles for the feature on Xubuntu in some random magazine, to be release in april, 2013.
