[Ali/amjjawad]

Hello Patrik,

Thanks a million for beating me to it. You brought a highly important topic
to the discussion ;)

You beat me to it to bring it here. I beat you to it by doing this:

http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1411/meeting/22335/howto-to-use-your-skills-and-experience-to-find-a-job/

Join this session - date and time not yet confirmed as my time is +11 GMT
now and I need to find a good time for me to host the session - or if you
can't join in real time, you can refer to the YouTube Channel. There is a
valid reason why I proposed this session and it is approved. It is just the
time that will be confirmed and the exact date.

If you take a look at my Wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad

I tried to list all my contributions for the last 4 years. Yet, I still
can't really list everything. This is just 75% from what I did or maybe
less. Point is, you do need a Wiki Page and you do need a Linkedin Account
and an updated CV.

You don't need any kind of permission to have a Wiki Page or add that to
your CV. If you ask me, NO QUESTION YOU MUST ADD that to your CV :D

I guess if my session at the UOS will be successful, this should bring lots
of volunteers to not only Ubuntu GNOME but many other projects as well.

While we are a community project and we have no company or whatsoever, if
anyone who is part of Ubuntu GNOME and he/she has visible and well-know
contributions, I am MORE than happy to vouch for them. You can find my
contacts on my Wiki Page and you guys have my emails. If this vouch will be
helpful, I will not be late.

I 100% agree.

I highly second that.
