Hello:
My name is Jim Adams. I have been an avid user of Ubuntu for serveral
years now and have used the bleeding edge for as much as possible
(hoping to get warnings prior to running my daily 'apt-get
dist-upgrade' when scary Xserver bugs are unleashed) and I have been
very impressed with the stability even on alpha releases that I have
run on my primary laptop.
I have been out of the loop for a while and didn't get to play much
with 12.04 prior to the GA, but I'd like to help in a little way I can
with the next one in the pipe.
My only connect to Ubuntu outside of being an OS geek by nature is
Jono Bacon (who I play music with in Severed Fifth). I've talked to
him from time to time about my experiences with the OS, and he
suggested I sign up to be more visible to the rest of the
community....so here I am. :-)
So far, I can only take credit for finding one bug...back in the 11.10
(or was it 11.04?) branch. If I remember correctly is was a funky
kernel bug with 'lshw'. I was surprised when I filed the report and
wasn't the 20th person to mention it.
I'm no dev/scripting champion...just your average Ops Admin with the
majority of my days spent managing storage fun in the Valley. I'll
try to be as clear as possible if/when I have anything to share, but
with my lack of programming, I may find it a challenge at times.
Hopefully I'll get better in that regard by helping the community make
the best Linux distro for desktops out there. Maybe I can talk
somebody at Cannonical into focusing more on competing with
CentOS/RH. ;-)
Happy Friday.

Hello Jim! Glad to have you! Have a look at our wiki page if you haven't
yet, particularly the 'Next Steps' section. Look through the activities
page, and depending on your time and interest have a look at the
qatracker and the isos and packages out there now available for testing.

Let us know if you need any help, and welcome! Stay tuned to the list
for special testing events as well. And as always, feel free to ask
questions.
Have a great weekend,
Nicholas
