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.

Future Goals

• I wish to ressurect UbuntuYouth however I would require help & assistance to do so.

Why I want to run for Ubuntu Youth Council

I would like to run for council because I have seen this team inactive for too long now, I would like to step up and do something to help the project get back up on solid ground.

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

I've worked with Ben in the Ubuntu Beginners Team - he is a proactive and enthusiastic proponent of Ubuntu. His help with the User Days enables more of those we wish to see using Ubuntu to do so - we need more people to do this. I have no hesitation whatsoever in supporting his application for Ubuntu Membership - forestpiskie
