Greetings.
My name is Cathy Barabas and I would very much like to join the
documentation mentoring program. I've been using Ubuntu for about three
years now and really want to give back to the community. A close associate
suggested I apply to help with documentation since my programming skills are
very limited. I'm not quite sure which part of the documentation I could
help with, but I do have excellent editing skills. Additionally, Hungarian
is my second language and I speak, read and write it with relative ease, so
I could help with translations as well.
A little about me: I live in the US. I started out my college career (20
years ago) as a programmer. Not quite sure why I decided it wasn't for me
because now I am trying to develop some programming skills. I was an
exclusive Windows and PC user for 15 years until some new friends introduced
me to open source in general and Linux in particular. I went through three
other Linux flavors until I settled on Ubuntu. It's the most "user
friendly" flavor of Linux currently available. I've actually been able to
"convert" some coworkers to Ubuntu. :-) Back to the "was an exclusive
Windows and PC user" thing. I'm also a new Mac convert. I hadn't touched
an Apple machine since high school. I wasn't into media, so why use
Apple/Mac, right? Now that Mac can do everything a PC can do, only better
(including running Windows), I figured what the heck. I love my Mac. But I
do still have a PC at home that I built from scratch as a gaming machine.
It's not the best or the fastest, but it runs WoW fairly well. :-)
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Cathy
