| == Why I chose Ubuntu == I first ran into Ubuntu because of one of my friends testing it out gave me a CD. I tried it on one of my older computers, believing that Linux was old, ugly, and just a toy. After trying it out for a few weeks, I really started to enjoy it. I finally installed it on my main computer, my laptop -- and I have not looked back! == My Ubuntu Involvement == === Ubuntu Georgia LoCo === I am the Team Coordinator for the Ubuntu Georgia Local Community Team (LoCo for short). I coordinate meetings and other events, really a "Jon of all trades," working on the web site, editing the wiki, and creating material and promoting Ubuntu through marketing. === REVU Uploaders === I am also working on programming and packaging an application for the Ubuntu project. == Contact Info == |

Not only for packaging software for Ubuntu, but actually developing software ON Ubuntu. 2. OpenAdvance - I am also working on programming a Boy Scout advancement-tracking application for Ubuntu. It's still under wraps now, but I hope to at least have a beta available at the end of this year (I'm a busy man!).

Jon has taken over running the LoCo and is doing a great job. We look forward to great things from him! - NickAli I had the pleasure of working with Jon on the US Teams board for a couple months this year. During his tenure on the board he frequently showed initiative within the project, often heading up efforts when it came to LoCo review and discussion. Excellent work, I'm very glad to have had his assistance (and continue to in his role as a team Mentor) as we revitalize the project. [[lyz|Elizabeth Krumbach]] |

How I Found Ubuntu
I found Ubuntu via a friend of mine who lent me a CD with Ubuntu 5.10, Breezy Badger. I really liked the system, so I installed it on my laptop. From then on, I have remained with one version of Ubuntu or another, and eventually got involved with the Ubuntu community.
