When Red Hat formed the Fedora project I moved on to Slackware. I still run a server at local amateur radio club using Slackware. I coordinated the Swedish branch of AMPRNet (44.140/16) for about a decade and for the AMPRNet infrastructure I used several Slackware servers located at The Royal Institute of Technology, KTH (kth.se). I finally took the step to leave the Wintendo world about four years ago at home (at work I still have to use the O/S from Micro$oft). I started using Ubuntu but shifted to Xubuntu about three months ago - yes, I'm very frustrated about the connection from Ubuntu to Amazon :-) In social media you mainly find me on Twitter, <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://twitter.com/PontusFalk"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://twitter.com/PontusFalk">https://twitter.com/PontusFalk</a></a>, tweeting about Amateur Radio,the use of GnuPG and other subjects. My profession is maybe a bit far from the most typical Linux user - I work as a hotel manager. Since 1986 I've been a licensed radio amateur holding the call sign SM0RUX. In case you think I can contribute to Xubuntu, just let me know - I start to think it's "pay back time" after using Linux for about 15 years. As a rookie on the contribution stage it's kind of hard to know where to start :-) Have a great day! <div class="moz-signature">-- Med vänliga hälsningar / Best regards Pontus Falk Hovstagränd 11 SE-124 70 BANDHAGEN Sweden Mobile: +46 760 275545</div> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Hello Pontus, and welcome to the list! As Dave pointed out already, there are always tasks we need help with and which whoever can work on. Testing is a great way to begin because it helps you create a better understanding of the system and how things work. To find the full list of areas where you can contribute to, see the Get Involved [1] page on our website. Our development IRC channel #xubuntu-devel [2] is active every day, and is a great place to get to know other people who contribute to Xubuntu - and get help with any problems and questions that might arise when doing testing or something else. Thanks for your interest and welcome again - waiting to see your contributions :) Cheers, Pasi [1] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://xubuntu.org/contribute/">http://xubuntu.org/contribute/</a> [2] on the Freenode IRC network <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Pasi Lallinaho (knome) » <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://open.knome.fi/">http://open.knome.fi/</a> Leader of the Shimmer Project » <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://shimmerproject.org/">http://shimmerproject.org/</a> Ubuntu member, Xubuntu Website lead » <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://xubuntu.org/">http://xubuntu.org/</a></pre> </body> </html>
