[ubuntu-us-mi] Hello World

[Kevin DuBois]

Name: Kevin Dubois (kdubois)

Place: Ann Arbor, MI for most of the year

Distro(s): Ubuntu Hardy, Arch, Debian Etch

Ubuntu/OSS interests: I like to help out with coding multimedia or 3d apps,
so
I've written a few (uncommited still, grumble) effects for Compiz Fusion,
with some plugins in the works
 and some things for VLC. I hope to move into kernel development too. I like
to help
out with user support, and I can package things poorly and reluctantly :-D.
I
gave a speech about ubuntu for loco a few months ago, if any opportunities
arise,
I'd be happy to give more :-D


non-Ubuntu interests: I'm the VP of my fraternity at U-M. I also like
swimming, and anything outdoors-like
