About Me
Linux user since 2004 (Linux User #458827, Ubuntu User #19076). I'm interested in computer history, user support and audio/video production. Very technical but not a programmer (yet). I try to make myself available to help anyone who is having issues or requires help. This allows me to get complete perspective of how the distro is used by different people, and collect opinions on, as well as discover different projects. I am not shy to ask for help, experiences and knowledge from others. I find it efficient to engage in a conversation with others, which I prefer over reading documentation. I am highly motivated to learn and support. As the Ubuntu user base will grow every day, more individuals and companies are switching to Ubuntu, which I am very enthusiastic about. I am dedicated to making Ubuntu a better distribution. I am currently trying to concentrate on community involvement, LPI certification and server competency. I feel that many people could benefit from my being an active community member.
I try to stay up to date on bugs users of Ubuntu are facing so that I can help others effectively report, debug, confirm, subscribe and triage bugs. I have created a work-flow process to assist me in finding previously reported issues and probable resolutions. See the Custom "Ubuntu" Google Search which is helpful for searching bugs, threads and blogs relating to Ubuntu (contact me to add a site to the search index).
My understanding of the Linux audio subsystem and the various audio projects involved has increased since starting with Ubuntu. Besides supporting users and troubleshooting audio issues, I would like to improve my understanding of professional audio and video production tools.
I am interested in improving the state of video editing software for Linux; I try to be involved in projects like cinellera, lumiera and pitivi.

Although he is a Canonical employee at Support, he goes way beyond any of his duties by actively engaging the local community, filing bug reports and advocating Ubuntu user to anyone.
