I left Win95 in 1998 for RedHat, and left Red Hat in 2001 for SuSE. I pretty much missed the Win98, 98se, 98me, WinXP and Vista OS as a result of my using only Linux at home since 1998 (I am truely pathetic with those Windoze OS).

I started making an effort to contribute back to the Linux Open Source Free Software movement (per the Free Software Foundation definition) in late 2005 when I joined some SuSE Forums. An area where I am currently trying to contribute to the open source movement is helping newbies get basic sound working on their PCs. Also, a pet peeve of mine is the scattered documentation across various areas in Linux, and I would like to try help reduce that.

Some documentation work that I have started, or contributed to (and would like to get more contributions to improve these wiki):

• Started page General openSUSE Concepts wiki (and since there have been MANY great contributors OTHER than myself)
• Created General openSUSE Sound Concepts
• Created openSUSE Audio Troubleshooting Guide
• Created new page on updating openSUSE alsa via rpm
• Contributor to openSUSE chess wiki
• Help-coordinate migration of old suselinuxsupport.de (SLS) HOW-TOs to openSUSE wikis.
• Contributor to openSUSE Video Editing wiki (Video editing is a hobby of mine)
• Created Boot DOS without floppy wiki - converted/modified from Ubuntu page
