Heh. That will teach me to ask questions before introducing myself :) ( BTW, just to be pedantic, I'm Jonathan -- one "o" and two "a"s) I'm a very long time Linux user (since late 1992), very comfortable with system and network administration. I've done some Debian/Ubuntu bug fixing and packaging, and have a few packages officially in both distributions with my name in the debian/changelog file. I'm probably technically proficient enough to become a MOTU (so others have told me!) but consistently putting time into MOTU work and being familiar with all the surrounding procedural stuff may be more than I want to commit to at the moment. I'm happy scripting in shell, Perl, Python, etc. and I can code in lower level languages when the need arises :) I'm prone to giving talks at my local Linux User Group, and occasionally known to create or edit or proof read documentation (I added some items to the wiki page for the recent Lubuntu documentation day, although I wasn't free to actually do any work on the day itself!). My primary personal interest in Lubuntu is for lower-spec older PCs, which have been "rescued" and set up ready to give away to folks who wouldn't otherwise have a PC at home at all. On modern high end desktop hardware, GNOME or KDE don't seem to slow things down much any more :) I'd really like to see Lubuntu seen and treated as "equal" to Ubuntu and Kubuntu and Edubuntu, on Canonical web sites and on forums etc., partly so I don't have to explain it to people so often :) This kind of testing of proposed packages seems pretty straightforward, so I'll hope to get at least a couple of Julien's proposed fixes tested this weekend so we can move things along. On IRC I tend to hang out in #ubuntu-server, #ubuntu-motu and #debian ... and I will try to pop up in #lubuntu from time to time :) Jonathan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
