About Me & Ubuntu

Progress

Contributions

  • I have been helping translations to en-AU.
  • Educated most of my friends to Ubuntu and helped them out finding software that they need.
  • I have been using Ubuntu since the start of 2008.

  • I have gone two UserDays sessions and plan on doing many more.

  • I joined the Ubuntu Classroom Team after the Oneiric UserDays sessions finished.

  • I have been helping out in the #ubuntu-beginners-team and #ubuntu-beginners IRC channels.

Ubuntu in my School

Over the past 10 months I have been trying to get Ubuntu into my school. Sadly it has been a tough task as the school's IT people had no idea of what Linux or Ubuntu was. A few months ago I found out that the State Government organizes everything for IT in schools so this year I will see my new school and talk to them and if nothing there happens then I will talk to the State Government.

Non-Ubuntu (But still Linux related)

  • I have became a official openSUSE Ambassador in July 2011.

Ubuntu Australia

I am very active in the Ubuntu Australia LoCo team On the 12/6/2011 I become the team reporter.

Future Goals

  • I would like to become a MOTU and an Ubuntu Developer.
  • I want to get more kids and youth in the Ubuntu community.

Testimonials

If you know me and have something nice to say, please leave a comment below.

Benny, or benonsoftware on the IRC, has been a great help in term of classes. I have assisted two of them, and he did a great effort to have very good material, and explain things very clearly. After the oneiric User Days, he wanted to join the Classroom Team. I think *that* is the desire to help the community, and make a better world, going step by step. He really deserves it.

Although I have not been involved with Ben on a specific project, he does seem enthusiastic in Ubuntu-AU events and meetings. Joel Pickett ~jpickett
