= About Me =
My name is Jason Cook. I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I will be starting Grade 10 in September.

= Ubuntu Contributions =
I have done several things for Ubuntu. I am one of the editors on the Ubuntu Manual team. I co-write for [[http://www.ubunturoot.com/|Ubuntu Root]] which covers various topics such as Ubuntu news, app reviews, themes and wallpapers. I have also made some forum posts which you can find [[http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?do=finduser&u=912634|here]]

I joined the [[http://ubuntu-manual.org/|Ubuntu Manual]] [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual|Launchpad team]] shortly after hearing about it from the [[http://omgubuntu.co.uk/|OMG! Ubuntu!]]. The Ubuntu Manual team creates a beginners manual for every release of Ubuntu. We cover basic topics such as installation to more advanced troubleshooting. Since joining I have fixed many bugs. You can see all the bugs I have fixed [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/~jason-cook599/+bugs?field.status:list=FIXCOMMITTED&field.status:list=FIXRELEASED&assignee_option=choose&field.assignee=jason-cook599|here]] and all bug assigned to me, but not yet fixed [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/~jason-cook599/+assignedbugs|here]].

I started writing for [[http://ubunturoot.com/|Ubuntu Root]] recently on August 21, 2010. I have posted on various topics such as Steam for Linux, Ubuntu Manual and reviews of various apps.

= Other Technical Contributions =
I am a member of the Media Team at my Church. I run live HD cameras for one of our two services. At our youth group every Friday night, I run graphics through[[http://www.renewedvision.com/propresenter.php|ProPresenter]]. On other nights I will run lights from our [[http://www.jandsvista.com/|Jans Vista]] lighting board.

= Ideas for Ubuntu = 
Ubuntu is a fantastic operating system. It is very usable and thus the only things I change are themes, wallpaper ''few'' applications. Most my ideas revolve around the installer.
 * Installer
  * Add PPAs during installation
  * Install applications during installation
  * Connect to WiFi instead of Ethernet for APT configuration
  * Document Transfer
   * Copy '''selected''' folders to your fresh install
    * The documents would be put in a folder name OLD for each user
    * This allows you to choose that you want to have on you fresh install
     * This lets you keep you documents without keeping settings


= Favorite Blogs =

I subscribes to over 100 blogs, with an average over 2,000 post a month. It is hard to narrow it down to a few, but I will try.<<BR>>
