I'm a member of the Ubuntu DocumentationTeam and currently the maintainer/author of the ["FAQGuide" Ubuntu Starter Guide]. I am interested in writing top quality documentation for the Ubuntu Linux operating system that rivals or bests any other documentation available elsewhere.

I am an active member of the Ubuntu DocumentationTeam and lead maintainer of the Ubuntu/Kubuntu FAQ Guides. The Ubuntu FAQ Guide will be released with BreezyBadger as the default document in Yelp, the GNOME Help Viewer (under System->Help).

About Me

I've been using Linux since 1998, starting with Red Hat. I quickly moved to Debian for a long time, then to Ubuntu during the WartyWarthog release. My local LUG is the Townsville Linux Users Group, for which I administer both the website and Freenode irc channel (#tlug) voluntary. I am also a member of Linux Australia. In the past I have also done a little bit of writing for the KDE Documentation Team and even won prizes for it!

== My Interest in Ubuntu ==

I'm a member of the Ubuntu DocumentationTeam and currently the maintainer/author of the ["FAQGuide" Ubuntu Starter Guide]. I am interested in writing top quality documentation for the Ubuntu Linux operating system that rivals or bests any other documentation available elsewhere.

I also help maintain other documents in the DocumentationTeam subversion repository and help out new contributors to Ubuntu documentation.

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:
