Background

Reza Alemy, I am known to my friends and community as Rex since it is easier for them to pronounce. I have been an Ubuntu user since Dapper Drake, and decided to professionally enter the world of Ubuntu in September of 2009.

I have been a software engineer for 20+ years, and in the years of 2004-2006 I wrote an Oncology treatment planning system which run under Dapper, some snapshots of which are in the Novatrex site. In my path to becoming an expert in electronic health, I had to go through development, administration, and data management projects. I created my launchpad profile in October of 2009

Contributions to Ubuntu

Since October of 2009 I have been constantly volunteering more than 20 hours a week to Ubuntu Vancouver Local Community. the results of this work is summarized here:

• Ubuntu Vancouver Game Development Team: A group of Ubuntu Vancouver members that want to showcase game development solely on Ubuntu (50+ pages)

• Ubuntu Vancouver Ambassadors: a volunteer activity of appearing at local coffee shops sporting an "Ask me about Ubuntu" sign during winter Olympics that I continued to date. (12 sessions so far)

• I have been contributing as a Support Hero on the Support Saturdays, made presentations at Ubuntu General meeting, held Tutorials on Game programming with Ubuntu, helping with logistics at General Meetings and Ubuntu Booth.

• I have actively participated in marketing strategies and member recruitment.
