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. I also try to contribute to the openSUSE wiki, where time and my experience permits. Some documentation work that I have started, or contributed to (and would like to get more contributions to improve these wiki):
The things I like about openSUSE are:
Aside from the nominal internet browsing, email, chat, video/music playback, and office application functionality of openSUSE, the main thing that I use openSUSE for is to create home videos, using application such as kdenlive. I am Irish/Canadian (my wife is Thai - hence the T-Shirt). I currently live in Europe, and I hang out occasionally on IRC chat freenode #suse and other openSUSE IRC chat channels . I am also a moderator on http://forums.opensuse.org/ Email: oldcpu at opensuse-forums.org |
