I'm a new VIP member - Introducing myself

[ubuntu_demon]

Hey,

I just noticed I've become a VIP member. Now's a good time for introducing myself.

I'm from the Netherlands. I'm 24 years old. I study Artificial Intelligence. We AI'ers like to make life easier. Ubuntu fits in this thinking paradigm.

During the christmas break I hope to make Ubuntu my main OS. (I have to lend some external harddisks of my friends and do a lot of backupping of my raid-array)

I'll focus my contributing efforts on :

* discussing how to make Ubuntu more usable for average-desktop-users.

I have already started some threads about this. I don't claim I know everything about average-desktop-users but I do think discussion is needed about how to make Ubuntu easier for them without sacrificing power.

* discussing,designing and coding a few simple applications that will make Ubuntu even easier for the average-desktop-user (and for the nerds who will probably need to install and configure such a system)

I can program. But I've never programmed a real user oriented application. Please help me design the UI's. Of course you will :).

How do you become a VIP member? Do you have to be a programmer or something?

Oh and see if you can get everyone at the AI lab to make their password "enter" RMS style :p ...

I'm just a student/nerd I don't have any money or influence in the real world. That's why I come here ;)

I'm only contributing posts on the forum. I received a mail that they liked my contribution and made me VIP.

So just contribute to the community :).
