Hi everyone! My name is Melvin García I've been using Ubuntu for three
years. I've always been active in the testing area, but I'm new to being
part of an actual Launchpad team(s).
> * How did you learn about this part of the community?
I saw the icon on someone else's Launchpad profile.
> * What attracted you to this type of participation?
I love Ubuntu very much and I want to help anyway I can to make it even
better for my family and friends. My goal is to convert them all to Ubuntu
users. I know some of their gripes with Ubuntu and I want to help covering
those.
> * Where did you look first for information on getting involved?
In the Launchpad team profile.
> * Did you feel the places you looked for information were useful? If
> not, how could we improve?'
Yes it was very useful.
> * When learning skills and content for participating, were the
> resources you used useful? If not, how could we improve?
Yes, again it was very useful.
> * What recommendations would you make for improving your experience in
> our community?
I don't know since I'm new here ;)
