About Me

Hi, my name is Jared Norris, I'm a member of the Ubuntu-AU team. I live in Brisbane (Australia) and have an assortment of Ubuntu installs at home ranging from 8.04 through until 10.04 (soon to all be 10.04). I do not work in the IT industry and have had no formal training and as such I am the very definition of a weekend hacker of all things Ubuntu. Essentially I have taught myself purely by learning to love Google, the Ubuntu Forums and of course the wonderful Ubuntu-AU team IRC channels.

I can generally always be found lurking on Freenode in the Ubuntu-AU IRC Channels.

Contributions

As I am not a very technical person I sometimes find it hard to contribute directly to the Ubuntu development community as a whole. I am slowly starting to work my way into being constructive within the Ubuntu-AU team to assist with local promotion of Ubuntu within Australia. I have volunteered to assist moderate the team's mailing list.

I have also organised a local, free Ship It type service to local Australian members to try and get Lucid Lynx LTS out into the population quicker for those people who do not have access to broadband connections (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-au/2010-April/006033.html).

Future Goals

I hope to maintain an active presence in the Ubuntu-AU team and one day I might get a day off work to line up with one of the Brisbane meetings.

At every chance I get in my work and social webs I promote Ubuntu to anyone who will listen to try and do my part to combat bug #1

I'm am currently working on setting up a home file/print/web/email server so this might allow me to contribute more on the technical side of things when I learn how to get all these working.
