About Me

I have first met Ubuntu in 2005, don't remember exactly the release. I liked it, but it had lots of issues. In 2008, it became my primary OS, but still dual-booting with windows for university needs. Recently I use Ubuntu on both of my computers, one still has Windows for emergencies.

I have successfully introduced Ubuntu to a few friends, most of them use it as primary OS now.

Socially

My main area of interest is contributing to open-source projects, but I also like watching movies, listening and playing music (guitar and piano), playing board games with friends and taking photos.

Professionally

I'm a Software Developer working in Romania. I have been working as a Java developer in small development teams, I have done server-side development using various frameworks, I have some client-side Flex experience, and I'm currently working as an Android developer.

I am interested in learning new programming tricks and languages, technologies, frameworks, mostly related to open-source.

Contributions

Translations

Hungarian being my mother tongue, I started off contributing by doing random translations on launchpad. Waiting for a membership approval from the HungarianTeam

Bugs

I have participated in some bug days. I have triaged bugs regularly, depending on the situation weekly, or even daily. I have followed and helped the papercuts project where I could. I have reported the bugs I have found on my computers, and occasionally forwarded the bugs my friends have found and told me about.

Patches

I have contributed with some easy patches and branches for bugfixes in the projects

gcalctool

jockey

ubuntu-docs

libreoffice

ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

I have implemented a simple feature for nautilus elementary, the categorized sidebar with the help and guidance of ammonkey, the main nautilus elementary developer.

Objectives for 2010-2011

Dig into an open-source project deeper to be able to fix bugs and implement new features (FUN!).

I write a blog. I blog about my experiences with ubuntu, ubuntu and development news, and misc thoughts. It's far from being daily, but I would like to post at least once in a week.
