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 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 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:
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
