Hey all, I've been reading this list for the past few months and enjoy the good quality of discussion, so I've decided to get off the fence and hope to become more involved in Ubuntu's great community.
I'm a Multimedia Development student from Scotland and have been using Ubuntu for the past few years. My first taste of Linux came about after reading about it online, becoming really interested in the community behind it and wanting to find out more, so I picked up a copy of Linux format with Mandrake on the cover back in 2002. Being new I went through the usual stages of trying every distro under the sun, stuck with Fedora for quite a while, then settled on Ubuntu as it was noticeably more polished in the usability area. A few of the proposed/active projects are of interest to me, Marketing/Leaflets; Website; Screencasts; Education, and will be glad to try and help in anyway I can. Though I'm not yet sure in what ways I can help, but I'll try and post to the mailing list regularly and hopefully pick up a few tasks that I can help on. I wouldn't say that I'm skilled in any specific area, more of an all-rounder at all multimedia related things. Skills are a bit low on open source software, mainly down to my college not using any, but I'm adapting my skills quickly to packages like Inkscape, GIMP, Blender etc.. Anyway that's enough of an introduction, and I hope to become more involved in the Linux community rather than sit back and be a spectator any longer. Cheers. Dave
