Contributions to Ubuntu

I am an advocate for Ubuntu for several years. I currently have a linux users group where we discuss changes and issues. I endorse and promote Ubuntu by offering it as an option on machine builds and OS repairs. I help by answering questions on Lauchpad and reporting bugs. I create videos tutorials to help other users and promote the use of Ubuntu. I give away computers with Ubuntu installed.

Hello my name is Daniel Stone also known as Daily Struggle. I am currently unemployed but manage several blogs and websites and promote Ubuntu through modern mediums.

History

I have been building computers since Apple 2 was the biggest and best machine on the market. I have done server array setup for factories mainly working with rockwell and allen bradley systems. Have worked and programmed Toyota Robotics and trained and retrained various machine sets for production environments. I have worked in and setup/build almost every Windows OS (for some reason I have only seen ME never worked on it).

I started using Linux after I lost a piece of paper that came with a disk that I paid dearly for. I soon learned of Ubuntu and since 7.04 every computer I build has Ubuntu on it.

Currently

I try to piece together from parts old computers that shops generally scrap and load Ubuntu fine tune it and give it away to an individual or family that needs it. I have even printed the online users guide to go with it. It is always a rewarding experience to see someone learn something new.

I create tutorials and videos that I load on common sites to help other users. I give quick guides on how to do some functions in Ubuntu and Linux.

I did beta testing of Ubuntu 9.10 and filed bug reports to help the developers get it out correctly before release date. I have also promoted Ubuntu because the ""For the Community"" term is why I chose Ubuntu and why I believe that it should be shared.

Projects

I currently have a project I am working on that will enable user profile to be portable in different Linux builds. This is still in planning stage but will import user programs into machine so user can have same experience through all linux environments.

Goals

To learn more of buntu builds and help other users in their experience by giving guidance when I can. To learn more of the mobile technologies and installation techniques. To promote Ubuntu by modern media, websites and mainly word of mouth. To continue to build computers only running Ubuntu.

Future Plans

Mobile and Portable technologies and incorporation of ideas to help with prosthetics and assistive technologies. Study of pattern management. To create a quick load profile management package to make a user profile import software in any linux environment.
