== How Have I Contributed to Ubuntu? ==

I am the primary author of the Ubuntu Starter Guide that was released with BreezyBadger and available via Yelp in every Ubuntu BreezyBadger installation. Based on ubuntuguide.org, the [http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/index.html Ubuntu Starter Guide] aims to address several key criticisms whist being technically correct and open to the Ubuntu community. I also help maintain other documents in the DocumentationTeam subversion repository and help out new contributors to Ubuntu documentation.

For DapperDrake I did most of the initial ground work and organisation of the [http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html Ubuntu Desktop Guide].

For EdgyEft I'm getting involved with the ["MOTU"] and maintain the "dolphin" package. I plan on becomming more involved with the ["MOTU"] to help Ubuntu become the best operating system available.

I also help out the WikiTeam by writing new guides or editing things I think need changing on the Ubuntu wiki. Some examples of my wiki-related work where I have contributed significantly include:

 * ["VMware"]
 * WindowsDualBootHowTo
 * BeepMediaPlayer
 * UbotuUsage
 * RestrictedFormats

Other stuff that I have contributed to the Ubuntu community include:

 * Ongoing administration of the Freenode #ubuntu IRC channel
 * ["Presentations"] - Promoting Ubuntu and Linux in my local community
 * ["LaptopTestingTeam/CompaqPresarioM2000"] - Current contact for my laptop on the LaptopTestingTeam

== How To Contact Me ==
