User:Ascenseur

I will not be able to attend the Ambassadors meeting on #fedora-ambassadors tonight as there has been a change of circumstances. Please accept my sincere apologies - 17th February 2010

That's me!

Joe O'Dell

Hi, My name is Joe O'Dell and I've been working on Fedora for quite a while.

I will try to keep this short, as there are lots of places online where you can read more about me.

I'm a student at an Upper (Secondary) School in Bedfordshire (UK), I'm a GEEK and I have a passion for FLOSS, Linux and Software Freedom. :)

I have some of the more usual hobbies, other than being a geek, such as reading, making cool-beans friends and enjoying life!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, and do have a look around!

Regards,

Joe

Me & Linux

Although I'm still at school, I've been using Linux for quite a while now - I first started using it way back in 2005, when I finally decided to give MS the boot. I'd finally become tired of paying for an OS, while there were perfectly good ones (and even better ones!) available on the internet.

I have a passion to share Linux, and hopefully I can benefit a lot of people!

Activities within Fedora

• Free Media contributor since 2009!

I love being part of the FreeMedia group, as it lets me give something back to the world :)

I don't have extreme amounts of money that I can give, but by sending a couple of 25p discs every month, I know someone else has experienced linux, and that's all good!

If you are interested in seeing where I send my DVDs to, have a look at My FreeMedia Page.

• Promoting Fedora

I aim to promote Fedora (but also other Linux distros) to the wide community in which I live in. This is why I have set up my own LUG (Linux User Group), as I believe that there is a lot I can help others learn, and Fedora is a part of it!

If you're interested in my LUG, have a look at bedslug.co.cc

• Designing FreeMedia resources

I have created a FreeMedia mailer to use when sending DVDs abroad, so that it gets there safely whilst being extremely economical on postage costs.

The first version is available on my fedorapeople.org account here.
