Introduction
My name is Ambition. Ambition: is the desire for personal achievement. It provides the motivation and determination necessary to help give direction to life.
My name is Faith. It's (faith) the flower of light in the field of darkness that's giving me the strength to carry on.
Impossible does not exist in my life. Extra Miles and Extraordinary are my other names 
Finally, "A computer is like air conditioning, it becomes useless when you open Windows." - Linus Torvalds
About Me
amjjawad is my username on Linux Community (Lubuntu, LXDE and Ubuntu). My Real Name is Ali and you can call me AJ. I'm 31 years old, have BSc in Computer Science and I simply breath, drink and eat anything related to IT and/or Technology in general. It is ironic that I did't actually start using Linux until October, 2009. Honestly, I didn't use Linux (it was back then Ubuntu 9.10) except for a week. I was introduced to Linux by a friend from UK (we used to play together a game on Facebook called My Heroes Ability - thanks to Zynga, the game is dead now) and I have never met that friend, I wish I could, hopefully one day. Then, in 2010 after less than a year, preciously in August 2010, I gave it another thought and started to use Linux. Long story short, since that day until now, I have never stopped using, breathing and contributing to Linux and hope I will never stop no matter what. Simply and honestly, Linux has changed my life and I do mean it.
After one year, I joined Lubuntu Team and since then, I'm an active contributor and a team member.
Now, I'm studying and preparing for my CCNA Exam.

Projects
Current Projects
WOW Lubuntu
WOW Lubuntu is a new project created by amjjawad (a member of Lubuntu family) to enlighten the whole world with the power of Linux generally and Lubuntu specifically and tell the untold story about a unique system that could breath a new life into an ancient machine instead of breathing the dust somewhere in the dark.
Upcoming Projects
Lubuntu 101
A new project that I have no idea when shall I start with it? it aims to help the New Comers who just started to use Lubuntu and those who already did. Fact is, Lubuntu has LESS documents and written resources than Ubuntu and for that, we need to fill these gaps. I'll update the status of this project once I get some time to start with it.
