Greetings,<br><br>I'm new to the list. I've been using Linux and open source software for 10+ years, but recently changed my desktop OS to Ubuntu and I am loving it! I'm impressed with how easy the installation process was.<br>
<br>I am currently a Sys Admin and also a student in a usability program here in the Midwest. I would love to contribute to any technical writing or usability testing projects that may be available.<br><br>Looking forward to meeting other women in the open source field!<br>

I started to prepare to do this, but have had to step back due to my own health. If you're at all interested, I'd be happy to work with you. I know it's a project that the usability person at Canonical is interested in so I can also introduce you to her. You can find me either by e-mail (<a href="mailto:pstowe@gmail.com">pstowe@gmail.com</a> or <a href="mailto:pendulum@ubuntu.com">pendulum@ubuntu.com</a>) or on IRC as Pendulum (I'm in both Ubuntu Women IRC channels and #ubuntu-accessibility on freenode).</div>
