Well, I’ve really gone and done it this time. Today I sent an email to Martin Albisetti aka bueno, who is the editor of the Ubuntu Weekly News, asking if I could help out in any way. I love the work I am doing with the Arizona Team and the US Mentors Team, and I don’t plan to give either of these up, but I would like to be able to contribute to the Ubuntu system on a global scale too. For a person like me, who doesn’t program or code, who can’t translate anything and has the artistic ability of a billy goat with a brush in his mouth, this may be my shot at doing just that.

I have met some of the best people during my two plus years of using Ubuntu. People who are genuinely decent and have pride in the volunteer work that they do. They believe in the product and are willing to help anyone who asks, and they do it without expecting anything in return. So for me, the combination of community and product has been compelling to say the least.

Life is definitely a strange creature. Two years ago I was looking around for an alternative operating system and literally stumbled onto Ubuntu. Who could have known that it would lead to the opportunities that I have today. What a kick! If an alternative operating system might be something that interests you, please click on the Ubuntu link in the sidebar to the right.

Thanks for stopping by! If you are interested in whether I got the spot I applied for, drop back by and find out in a future posting.
