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.

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. As such my current contributions are:
assisting with mailing list moderation of the Ubuntu-AU team mailing list.
organised a local, free Ship It type service to local Australian members to try and get Lucid Lynx LTS out into the population quicker (Australia still has a large proportion of people without access to broadband connections (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-au/2010-April/006033.html).
work towards maintaining, organising and expanding the Ubuntu-AU team Wiki.
spending time in the Ubuntu-AU IRC Channels to assist with any questions.
working on Ubuntu-AU Gaming to try and promote Ubuntu within the gaming community.
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.
