My handle for pretty much the entire internet is maco. Variations are macoafi or macogw if the site requires 6 letters, but maco usually means me.

== Other Stuff ==

=== Programming ===

I've been doing Java for a couple of years now, and started studying C last year. I want to be able to write to device drivers so I don't have to wonder if something's Linux-supported before I buy it (or get it as a gift). There's a few things I want to do to GNOME to "prettify" things. One of them is a "glassy" option on gnome-panel. My mockups for that are [http://ubuntuforums.org/g/images/137631/large/1_panelproperties.png here] and [http://ubuntuforums.org/g/images/137631/large/1_panelexample.png here]. The other is a [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gnome-configurator configuration utility for GNOME themes].

=== School ===

I'm a freshman at GWU in Washington, DC. I'm double-majoring in International Affairs and Computer Science with a minor in Japanese. If anyone who happens to be reading this is from GW or somewhere in DC, say hi.

== Ubuntu Stuff ==

I jumped on the Ubuntu boat just after Dapper came out. It's my main OS now both at school and at home. I now have a blog (link at top) where I post about developments in Feisty, new things I come across, and howtos/hints for problems I encounter.

=== Help ===

I can usually be found in the Absolute Beginner Section of the ubuntuforums.org answering questions, chatting in Community Cafe, or modding the NU Ubuntu Team section of the forums. I sometimes answer questions on IRC, but I think I ask more there than I answer. Forum members have IM'ed me before too. My screen name is at the top of the page. Feel free.

=== Spreading ===

Well, so far my mom and my siblings use Ubuntu at home. A former RH-user in my Japanese class switched after he saw my computer, and another girl in the class (his girlfriend) soon followed suit. I've started giving out Ubuntu Live CDs, and a few of my friends from high school have requested that I set it up for them over Winter Break. A few of my cousins are now looking at Ubuntu too. I've started making and labeling copies of the Open CD to give out to Windows users whose computers I repair, since while some people may not be willing to switch OS's (but I '''need''' AutoCAD), they probably don't mind freebies. I also installed Edubuntu on a dozen older computers which were then donated to the School Without Walls in Washington, DC for a computer lab.

=== Community Involvement ===

I'm a member of DCLUG, LinuxChix DC chapter, and the Ubuntu DC, Pittsburgh (home), and Pennsylvania LoCo Teams. I'm a moderator on the NU (Northeast US) Ubuntu part of ubuntuforums and an admin for the NU team on Launchpad. Assist NicholasWheeler with evangelizing Edubuntu at cons.
