He was unhappy of Windows 2000 Server, so he asked me to help him to setup a GNU/Linux-based platform. He had an Ubuntu CD so we decided to install it. I was so impressed of its features so I decided to use it on my box too. === Ubuntu and me === After many years with Debian, I feel "at home" with Ubuntu. It is one of the best distribution I have ever seen with unique features: up-to-date software, frequent updates, nice look & feel and, most of all, a great community behind the entire project. Some times ago, when I noticed a [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/50610 strange behaviour], I received good feedbacks and I was able to fix the bug quickly. === Ubuntu and business === I work as an accountant in a big enterprise in Northern Italy, but I am responsible for IT-related matters too. We needed to upgrade our internal servers based on Windows NT in order to achieve better performances. Ubuntu was my choice and now it manages e-mails, file storage and serves as PDC, but we are planning to migrate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_R/3 SAP R/3], our ERP application, to a GNU/Linux-based platform. With this solution we reduced noticeably our IT total cost of ownership and we achieved a better overall security and stability. = My engagement with Ubuntu = See my [https://launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/ Launchpad profile]. === Bugs === As a member of BugSquad and DesktopTeam, I am going to help developers by reducing the number of unconfirmed bugs. * See bugs [https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/+reportedbugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Rejected&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Released&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.status_upstream=&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.has_patch.used=&field.tag= I have reported]. * See bugs [https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/+subscribedbugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=Unconfirmed&field.status%3Alist=Needs+Info&field.status%3Alist=Rejected&field.status%3Alist=Confirmed&field.status%3Alist=In+Progress&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Committed&field.status%3Alist=Fix+Released&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.owner=&field.status_upstream=&field.status_upstream-empty-marker=1&field.omit_dupes.used=&field.has_patch.used=&field.tag= I am involved]. * See also packages I am a [https://bugs.launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/+packagebugs bug contact] for. === Support === As Support Contact, I am trying to help people by answering at their support requests. * See tickets [https://answers.launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/+createdtickets?field.search_text=&field.sort=by+relevancy&field.sort-empty-marker=1&field.actions.search=Search&field.status=Open&field.status=Needs+information&field.status=Answered&field.status=Solved&field.status=Expired&field.status=Invalid&field.status-empty-marker=1 I have reported]. * See tickets [https://answers.launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/+subscribedtickets?field.search_text=&field.sort=by+relevancy&field.sort-empty-marker=1&field.actions.search=Search&field.status=Open&field.status=Needs+information&field.status=Answered&field.status=Solved&field.status=Expired&field.status=Invalid&field.status-empty-marker=1 I am involved in]. * See tickets [https://answers.launchpad.net/people/dktrkranz/+answeredtickets?field.search_text=&field.sort=by+relevancy&field.sort-empty-marker=1&field.actions.search=Search&field.status=Open&field.status=Needs+information&field.status=Answered&field.status=Solved&field.status=Expired&field.status=Invalid&field.status-empty-marker=1 I have answered]. === Packaging === As a member of [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-backports-testers Ubuntu Backports Testing Team], I am trying to triage requests related to [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-backports-testers Edgy-backports] issues.

Sponsorship
I am member of Ubuntu Sponsors for Universe, I like spending some time to check patches and debdiffs provided by our precious contributors. Their work is invaluable because it is very useful for overall Ubuntu development. Contributors will turn developers soon, providing them advices and guidance will be of sure help.
