Hi everyone! My name is Melvin García I've been using Ubuntu for three years. I've always been active in the testing area, but I'm new to being part of an actual Launchpad team(s).

I love Ubuntu very much and I want to help anyway I can to make it even better for my family and friends. My goal is to convert them all to Ubuntu users. I know some of their gripes with Ubuntu and I want to help covering those. > * Where did you look first for information on getting involved? In the Launchpad team profile. > * Did you feel the places you looked for information were useful? If > not, how could we improve?' Yes it was very useful. > * When learning skills and content for participating, were the > resources you used useful? If not, how could we improve? Yes, again it was very useful. > * What recommendations would you make for improving your experience in > our community?
