Hi everybody,

I am new in the community so I was asked to introduce myself to the
other members...

I am Steven De Baets, born in 1975, originally from Aalter, but now I
live in Ghent. I'm married to Sheila and we have no kids, but we do
have an English Cocker Spaniel called "Louis".
I studied architecture at Sint-Lucas in Ghent and have been a
professional snooker player in a previous life.
I am currently a self-employed designer / project developer and energy
advisor (EPC) and I'm in the second year of my real estate agent studies.
I have been a Linux-user for quite some time now, so I thought the
time had come to actively advocate and market the use of linux and
open and free software.
Distros I have used: Red Hat Linux - Fedora - SuseLinux - OpenSuse -
Mandrake - Mandriva - gOs - Mint - PCLinux - Crunchbang and last but
not least Ubuntu (from version 5.04).
In the office in I have put up a Ubuntu-server with 3 Ubuntu clients.

My main goal in the community is to spread the word, distribute and
install Ubuntu, give support to people coming from other platforms,
design marketing material and help the translation team.
I'm also working on a Linux beginners guide in dutch.

I like Ubuntu, because it is one of the most stable and intuitive
distros out there. It is easy to learn and in my opinion it has the
potential to make people take the leap and turn their backs on an
expensive and never ending story of viruses and black screens of death
called windows.
I hope I can really help the community and add to the number of Linux-
and open source users that way.

If you came this far reading all of the above, I have to thank you for
letting me waste your time ;) ...

Kindest regards,
Steven De Baets.
