Thoughts....

A career isn't the only way to live your life.

Some of us have interestes outside of work that we would like to pursue once we finish

college. You can work random jobs here and there to finance this.

Why Ubuntu ?

Why I chose Ubuntu ?

Very simply – People were very friendly and helpful !

Encouraged me to get involved

There was no flaming or being told to RTFM or Google it

I liked the fact people listened to my opinions and gave

me constructive criticism where needed

I contribute to Ubuntu in my own way
