Me

I'm Jacob Peddicord, a web developer and Ubuntu member. To the surprise of many, I am 16 years old.

I'm a student/programmer. I know PHP/MySQL, Python, C++, HTML/CSS, and Javascript/AJAX technologies, to name a few. I especially love Python, and I'm using it to code a game console project known as Xeiso.

I started venturing into Linux back in late 2005. I had downloaded Ubuntu 5.10 because I had always heard many great things about it. However, it refused to install from a DVD drive, and as a result, I tried SuSE. In May 2006, when Dapper was starting to become popular, even in the beta days, I installed it and since then have never went back to any other distribution. I have given out around 50 copies of Ubuntu since, and have personally installed around 15 on others' machines.

Contributions to Ubuntu

  • Bug triaging; I try to do this whenever I have some free time
  • Forums:

  • Helping out with the Ohio LoCo team:

    • Current team contact, though the team is council-led
    • Operating #ubuntu-us-oh on irc.freenode.net

    • Maintaining http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org

    • Trying to keep the email robots from breaking loose and wreaking havoc

  • I wrote the LoCo Support System for Drupal

    • Originally called "the f2f project," I started working on this in April 2007.

    • Finalized for production use on June 1, it ran only on the Ohio LoCo site.

    • Less than a week later on June 7, I published the code on Launchpad under the GPL.

FOSS Contributions (not necessarily Ubuntu)

  • I blog on FOSSwire, which has become relatively popular in recent months, along with Peter Upfold.

  • I'm working on a project known as Xeiso, a dedicated open gaming platform interface.
