hello Ubuntu!

[Eric Partlo]

Hi all,

I also would like to contribute but need some advice on how to start.  I
recently graduated from college in computer science but didn't get a job in
my field but would like to remain involved with computer science.  I am
currently learning and working with the bug squad but that is only triaging
not fixing bugs yet.  I have a little experience such as building web sites
for previous job, and some semester long projects with small teams.
