Ubuntu Wiki

About Me

I'm a student of Computer Applications. I tried out Fedora a few years back and liked it. I moved to Ubuntu a year after I bought my laptop (2008). I've started using Ubuntu from Hardy and I love it. Now, I have joined the Ubuntu Community to help spread the word and help new users.

Team Membership

Beginners Team

Beginners Team The Beginners Team was my stepping stone to Ubuntu contribution. I met a lot of people with whom I worked with later on. I occasionally help on LP Answers and on the Ubuntu Forums (rarely). At times when users ask help on IRC and I know the answer I help out on the BT help channel, #ubuntu-beginners. My first contribution to Ubuntu was with BT, revamping the Swap FAQ page. See Answers Profile See Forums Profile See Swap FAQ page

Ubuntu Community Learning Project

Ubuntu Community Learning Project I'm a course writer and so far got around to writing one course. It finished review and I'm in the process of updating the course after review. In the mean time, I'll be writing a wiki page for it and probably leading an IRC session. See the course

Bug Squad

Bug Squad I'm part of the Bug Squad and help triage bugs as often as possible though I don't figure in the 5-a-day (yet!). I'm being mentored by C de-Avillez. I took a session about Launchpad for the Ubuntu User Day based on my experience as a bug triager. With lots of help from maco I fixed a bug in vm builder (Edit: This patch has since found to have had a spelling mistake from my part).See my bugs See the session logs See the vm builder package page

Ubuntu User Days Team

[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-user-days|Ubuntu User Days]] A sub-team of ubuntu-classroom and ubuntu-learning, initially even though I wasn't part of the team, I helped out. I joined hands with Chris in getting session leaders for the User Day. I went onto to design the current logo and volunteer to lead a session myself about Using Launchpad. I was honored to be accepted to this team and help host the event and be added as one of the drivers of the Ubuntu User Days Team. I blogged and tweeted about the User Days to bring it to the attention of as many people as possible. We're already recruiting session leaders for next Ubuntu User Day.
