I first discovered Linux in June of 2007, It was my first year at Truman State during the summer, and I was taking advanced programming in Java. My Professor was a true Linux advocate and a user of Debian. He preached Linux to the class while we were learning Java, and at the end of the summer, he gave every student a copy of Debian to try when they got to a home computer. From then on I went to discover other Linux distros, eventually landing on Ubuntu. My first release of Ubuntu ever was 8.04, I loved it and never could use a different Linux Distro if I tried. It took me almost a year to realize that not only was Ubuntu a great operating system, it also had a great community as well. I first joined the Ubuntu Forums, where people made me feel at home, answering questions I had, and to my surprise, asking questions I knew the answer to. I love helping others and I think the Ubuntu community is one of the best ways out there for me to help educate others.
Team Memberships
The teams I'm a member of:
Ubuntu Beginners Team - Full Member
My Contributions to the Ubuntu Community
At the moment I don't have any major contributions to the Ubuntu Community other than the occasional bug report here and there. I mainly focus on studying Ubuntu and Linux and conveying my knowledge to those who need it.
You can always find me on the
UbuntuForums I participate mostly in helping out beginners in Absolute Beginners Talk
I also have some knowledge in General Help
and lastly x86 64-bit Users
I'm on
Launchpad.net
- I'm also on irc.freenode.net, the channels I'm in usually are:
- #ubuntu #ubuntuforums #ubuntu-beginners #ubuntu-beginners-help #ubuntuforums-unanswered
Current Project & Goals
My main project for the time is aiding Ubuntu Beginners with the
UbuntuBeginnersTeam. As always, I work very hard to help out the Ubuntu Community. I'm very active on the
Ubuntu IRC and Ubuntu Forums trying to answer as many questions as possible. - I'm also a very big tutorial and tool junkie, I'm skilled in Python, Java, Javascript, and C++ (and HTML if that counts). I've been working hard on coding and writing small tools that can make everyday desktop use easier and faster. I also spend many hours writing tutorials for beginning Ubuntu users, many of which are still in draft state.
- I'm always adding to the Ubuntu-Docs, and Ubuntu-Wiki... Some pages I've created from the ground up are:
Future Plans & Projects
To continue to make myself available to assist anyone and everyone I can, learn how to better use Opensource software, be an upstanding member of the Ubuntu Community, and further the Opensource mission.

Random Quote:
It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail - Albert Einstein
