Hi,
I am curious to know more about this great community. I was wondering how many of you volunteer your time here, and how many of you are here because you are looking for something new to do in ubuntu but try to help out other people when possible?

My answer is I am looking for some new ideas to do in Ubuntu, but I try to help out where possible.

Thanks,
James

I help out a bit. Not all the time, because I'm a bad explainer, but I do if there's just a command or something that needs doing.

I imagine the majority of us are here to both help, and find things that pique our interest.

I don't think anyone gets paid to post here, so no matter how or when you do it, it's all volunteer work.

Sometimes I answer questions in the programming section. That's about it.

Some of the contributions to the forum are priceless.

Unfortunately, I don't help others as much as I feel I should. But, if there's something I'm quite sure of, and I feel like posting, I do. I'm mostly here to kill time reading T6E, this section and a couple other ones.

I volunteer my time to a project that collects old machines from companies and private persons, whip them clean, install Linux on them and ship them to schools in Africa. As for here, I mostly hang out in the development forum and correct misguided posters.

This is great to hear. That is very nice of you to volunteer that way.

My Ubuntu/Xubuntu experience has been so trouble-free that I haven't been able to answer alot of the questions in the General Help and Absolute Beginners forums (but I always spend a few minutes there to see if there's a question I can answer), but I've played around with a few desktop environments in Debian/Ubuntu, and I've been able to do some good there. But a couple of my answers had to be corrected, lol.

If there is something that I happen to see, and it has happened to me. I will help. If not, I'll try.
