Introducing myself

[Chik J Duncan]

Hi folks

I've just joined this list although I'm not a high powered programmer so 
I think at first my skills can probably be best used in one of the other 
teams.  I'm open to suggestions on that score.

I've been a Web site administrator at Dundee University in Scotland, an 
IT tutor in Community Education, a teacher of English as a Foreign 
Language in London, from August 2003 to September 2007 I was living in a 
Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the Scottish Borders where I was Webmaster 
and Web designer for two sites, and I'm currently studying for an MA in 
Writing for Children at Winchester University in England.

I'm also a writer, storyteller and performance poet for children and 
families.  But be warned, The Smelly Wellie Tele Show is nowhere near as 
exciting as it sounds; it's just me I'm afraid and it isn't on the telly.

Oh, and I sing a bit but I'm really rubbish at tap dancing :-[

Looking through the Edubuntu lists, my skills don't fit Development, 
Artwork or Bugsquad.  So that leaves:
Website
Handbook
Documentation
Advocacy
Study Content

I'd be happy to start off helping with any of these.

One proviso: I've installed and used 3 or 4 different distros in the 
past but I'm nowhere near an expert, so being assigned a mentor would 
probably be very useful.

And one last point for now.  I've just bought a new laptop - an Acer 
Aspire 7720G Intel Dual Core processor - and I've installed Ubuntu 7.10  
to dual boot with Vista.  Needless to say it's not plain sailing and 
there are no guides in English for the 7720G so writing a report on my 
experiences might be a good place to start.

However, like I said I'm open to suggestions regarding which team I 
might join so, over to you folks.

All the best,

Chik
