[Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Billy Brawner]

I've been using Ubuntu for maybe a week now, version 14.10. I haven't 
yet made any contributions because I'm still deciding on where I'd like 
to get involved. App development has caught my eye, as well as web apps 
and core development but I'm still relatively new to it all so I've been 
researching it all before I jump into one specific part of it all. i am 
familiar with GitHub though and I'm confident using the command line.

I don't typically get out of Bend unless I have a reason to (I think the 
LoCo events would be sufficient reason though.) So I shouldn't have any 
problems getting over the mountains. I've done the drive plenty of times.

Thanks!
