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 |
About Me
I'm a software developer working in Higher Education. As well as being part of the Ubuntu community I am a regular contributor the to FOSS Moodle online learning platform. I started using Ubuntu when I was about 17 and joined my local LUG, where I met many of the Ubuntu community members I still know today. At home, I run Ubuntu on all my computers, whether for servers, gaming or general purpose computing.

Contributions
I have been a co-producer co-presenter of the 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 FOSS Talk Live.
As part of the podcast, I administer and moderate the Ubuntu Podcast Chatter Telegram channel, a place for casual discussion between members of the community.
Aside from the podcast, I have also been instrumental in organising 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.
Future Goals
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.

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! -- sbutcher 2020-12-16 09:22:03
