Write your contributions here. I have been a co-producer co-presenter of the [[https://ubuntupodcast.org|Ubuntu Podcast]] for the past 10 years. The podcast is a light-hearted and family-friendly show, discussing Ubuntu, Open Source, and all aspects of technology. The work of producing the show includes gathering news, discussion ideas and feedback, compiling notes, setting up hardware & software for recording, editing and releasing the show. Over the years, I have performed all of these functions to a greater or lesser extent as well as appearing on the podcast as a regular presenter since 2010. We have also performed occasional live shows at community events such as [[https://fosstalk.com/|FOSS Talk Live]].

Write your goals. Aside from the podcast, I have also been instrumental in organising [[https://oggcamp.org/|OggCamp]], an unconference celebrating all aspects of open source and free culture. While not specifically an Ubuntu event, the OggCamp and Ubuntu communities have a significant overlap.

I would like to continue to discuss and promote Ubuntu as a free software platform, keeping users informed of the latest developments and goings-on in the community.

If you know me and have something nice to say, please leave a comment here. Mark's selfless commitment over the years is impressive. The Ubuntu Podcast is one of the best things about the community and I for one am very grateful. Culture tends to reflect leadership, and the telegram channel is edifying and friendly, influenced in no small part by Mark's calm oversight without any hint of ego. Mark is a great asset to the community and membership is long overdue! -- [[LaunchpadHome:sbutcher]] <<DateTime(2020-12-16T09:22:03Z)>>

Mark is a fantastic ambassador for Ubuntu, not only through his significant contributions to Ubuntu Podcast over the years but also via the excellent work he has done as an OggCamp orgasniser and volunteer. Absolutely a worthy membership application that I whole heartedly endorse. @SIG
