Future Goals
My main goals within the FOSS community are: to become an Ubuntu member, become a developer for Ubuntu (Xubuntu specifically) and get a blog working for Planet Ubuntu. Outside of the FOSS community my main goal is to finish high school and get a job in the I.T. industry.
Testdrive
I've been trying since i heard about it to improve testdrive, to me it is one of the most important programs in the testing community. However it has had many bug and has not got a proper maintenance team.
Xubuntu
I run Xubuntu on all of my PCs capable of it and have tried to help the development of it whenever possible, i've found many bugs and have helped in the writing of the magazine articles for the feature on Xubuntu in some random magazine, to be release in april, 2013.
The Main issue i've found in xubuntu is the fact it doesn't seem to get many new-to-linux users. Ubuntu gets the most advertising and the best touch support (the only UI usable with both keyboard and mouse or touchscreen in my opinion), Lubuntu gets many users because it looks the most like windows and because it has the best support for old hardware, and Kubuntu takes many existing Linux users because it's based on KDE and is difficult to use (my opinion, not a fact). Xubuntu also lacks wallpapers, a proper lock screen (being fixed currently) and a GUI proxy manager, which combined have hit the usability of the OS.
The only change i wish to see in the team is better advertising of Xubuntu, which would help hugely, especially in getting more Developers.
