= My Plans for Ubuntu =

The bulk of my current focus is on the [wiki:EnglishTranslation English Translation] effort. I would like a unified translation that suits the needs of most (Commonwealth) English speakers, and provides the means to create localised variants with only minimal alteration. I would like to co-ordinate this with similar translation efforts upstream and in other distributions.

I would also like to help with the community-building and marketing efforts of Ubuntu. I love the community-focus of this distribution, and its respect for free software ideals.
