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 latest version of it, which includes a customs label pre-inserted, is available on my Fedora People account at ascenseur.fedorapeople.org/fedora_mailer_new.otg
Fedora Ambassadors
I have applied to become an Ambassador in the past. However, I cancelled the application as I was not ready.

Creating a UK EventBox
In collaboration with Paul Mellors, I have started planning a UK EventBox.
