I am very lucky to have been using linux while growing up since my father was a developer. I have to credit him with introducing me to Free and Open Source software at a very young age, (younger than I can remember).

I used to always save up for a linux magazine to get the latest distrubution onto my pentium III 450mhz noisy-box. RHL*, mandrake/mandriva. you name it, i've had it.


I do at the moment;
* provide support in #fedora
* I edit the wiki, so if there is a page that needs care, drop a note on the disscussion page. :)
* Introduce FOSS to high-school students.
* provide support for people who have recieved the gift of FOSS from me.
* spend tireless hours waiting for the next version of fedora to download.


What do i miss: everything going [OK] when its booting up except for cups (common unix printing system)  which always used to give back the  [failed] responce. :P

Even a published book says "you may do it as one of the following, an essay, a power-point or even a poster" I may do something as a power-point, next time i see something like that, im going to purchase a novelty power-point and write the work on that.
Yes, i know i get that alot. I am a person who is mature, i am in year 9* advanced class. I am an honest responible person.


I strongly believe that people should not be judged on their age, they should be judged on their maturity. As an example i know a certain 12 year old who can code in python, javascript, css, html, jquery etc. Yet he can not get a fedoraproject.org account. How sad.


(*australian year nine may be different to X countries' year 9)

== What i do now? ==


Nowadays i market linux & FOSS to my colleges and mates at school, I have made the school switch from Internet Explorer to an ie / firefox choice (which it's pretty obvious that everybody chooses firefox! :) )
PowerPoint: Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite, and runs on Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X operating system.


I used to provide support to countless individuals on ubuntu with questions such as "how do i install the nvidia driver?" and "how do I switch to kde?"


Power-Point: A wall socket by which electricity is provided to electrical devices

As well as my younger sister who has the opertunity to experience FOSS at the same age as I did.
she prefers going on my laptop than the other computers because "it has fedora on it!"
