Posingaspopular
Hi there. For the past 10 months (Oct. 26th 2007 as of writing), I have been using and promoting the use of Ubuntu. My main choice of distro is Kubuntu, but I have some experience with Xubuntu, Edubuntu, and Ubuntu as well. If you would like to see my (mostly) free software blog, you can find it on Wordpress, linked below. This blog is syndicated to the Chicago Ubuntu LoCo and the Chicago GNU/Linux Users Group Planet (chiglug.org/planet).

Anyone who won't spam me has permission to contact me with any Ubuntu related questions.
So far I have:
* Created the agenda for/attended the First Ubuntu-IL meeting.
* Hung around on IRC and helped with various issues. My main area of focus has been #ubuntu-chicago, #kubuntu, and more recently #ubuntu-us and #ubuntu-locoteams. I can be found there most regularly on the nights before my papers are due, and I make a special effort to spend time in help channels when the newest releases are dropped, at which times I can be found in #kubuntu.
* Helped with the Ubuntu side of InstallFest at BarCampChicago. Other distros included foresight, fedora and Linspire.
* Helped represent Ubuntu with LoCo at Florish, a confrence for FL/OSS at a local university. We passed out over 400 cds, and won the 'Battle of the Distros' for the event.
* Moderator for the Chicago Ubuntu LoCo mailing list.
* Helped create/set agenda regarding several meetings for Ubuntu-Chicago Loco meetings. April 2007, August 2007, October 2007, Dec. 2007. These are the ones that I can remember, but in all likelihood, there are more.
* Launched the Ubuntu-Illinois CodeSprint for Feb. 9th, 2008. Press release I wrote was featured in Ubuntu Weekly News #64. We are actively planning this event.
Also I edited the docs for Ubuntu Open Week-Gutsy. Trivial changes, mostly capitalization/spelling.
- CommunityQ+A
- Joining the Community
- Documentation Team
- Mentoring Loco Teams
- Local Teams (Both Sessions)
I have also joined the mozilla-bugs team, Ubuntu-docs, Xubuntu testing. I removed myself from the mozilla-bugs team because I could not handle the amount of work that the team does. I recently signed up to help with the Xubuntu Hardy docs.
More updates/Ubuntu related stuff as the work is done.
