| I'm William, and I have been using Linux for the past 4 years. The primary distribution I used before this year was Debian, until I discovered Ubuntu. I have been using Ubuntu since a few days after 5.04 was released, and have never looked back. | ||<tablestyle="float:right; font-size: 0.9em; width:40%; background:#F1F1ED; margin: 0 0 1em 1em;" style="padding:0.5em;"> '''Launchpad ID''': || [https://launchpad.net/people/fujitsu/ fujitsu] || || '''IRC''': || '''Fujitsu''' on ''irc.freenode.net'' || || '''Email''': || [[MailTo([email protected])]] || || '''GPG''': || [http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE55791E872451A8413BC0354ADB4BEA99D1D4025 0x9D1D4025] || || '''Jabber''': || [email protected] || || '''Location''': || Melbourne, Victoria, Australia || |

| I have been pro-OSS for the past few years, converting many people to Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird, but have been reluctant to propose that everyone use Linux, as it was simply too difficult for many people, until Ubuntu came along, that is. The more people involved in Ubuntu, the better, so I am involved in AustraliaTeam, spreading Ubuntu throughout Australia! I know that Ubuntu has the potential, but we now need the marketing. | |

About Me
At the moment, I'm a Year 12 student in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I've been using Linux since my father introduced me to Red Hat in mid-2000. I then switched to Slackware for a while, then Debian, and finally Ubuntu (in January 2005). I've not left Ubuntu since. On 2006/09/06, I became an Ubuntu Member.
Ubuntu Involvement
I've been fairly active in the Ubuntu community since I joined it in early 2005. My contributions include:
Starting the Ubuntu AustralianTeam.
Managing the web hosting for the AustralianTeam.
- Regular bug triage throughout Malone.
- Updating/correcting/beautifying pages on the Ubuntu Wiki.
- Merging and requesting syncs during Edgy development.
Ubuntu AustralianTeam
Around the release of Ubuntu 5.10, YukiCuss and I started the AustralianTeam. It consists at the moment of about 60 Australian Ubuntu users who wish to help spread the word, and is still growing. I currently manage the web/email hosting for the team.
Bug Triage
I am subscribed to the ubuntu-bugs mailing list, and triage many bugs within minutes of the inital report. I also often work through the list of unconfirmed bugs, trying to eventually eliminate it.
Wiki Updating
I have corrected/updated/fixed/beautified many wiki pages, with grammatical/spelling corrections, cleanups, updating for Ubuntu 6.06, etc.
Future Goals
For now, I'll primarily continue helping the MOTUs, by merging packages for Edgy. I'll also continue bug triaging and promoting Ubuntu around Australia. In the future, I'd like to be more involved in the actual development of Ubuntu, by becoming a MOTU, for example.
MOTUing
Goals
- If I were to become a member of ubuntu-dev, I'd primarily concentrate on bug-fixing/creating/updating science-related packages, as well as dealing with a lot of merges and syncs.
Packages Synced and Merged for Edgy (so far)
This list got a little large and unweildy (as well as not being dynamic), so [https://launchpad.net/people/fujitsu/+packages my upload list] will have to do.
New Packages Uploaded
Package Bugs Fixed
