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 one review and I'm in the process of updating the course after review. After doctormo is free, the course needs to have Ground Control integrated into it and as such is on hold for now. 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. I'm being mentored by C de-Avillez. I lead a session about Launchpad for the Ubuntu User Day based on my experience as a bug triager. See the session logs See all the bugs I've triaged
I adopted the Rhythmbox package and now I'm working on closing the old bugs. I've created an apport hook for Rhythmbox, which should be ready in Lucid.
Ubuntu User Days Team
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 honoured 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. See original logo on Flickr See my session logs See User Days Team See Blog post
