Welcome to the Forums - Introduce yourself here

Recently decided to start learning linux; After a long haul I've finally made it to the proper starting techniques
and am working on hosting multiple server types. (Gaming and Web.) I find myself hosting for others, and am
excited to learn more about computer science this way. It took me so long, I never thought I'd figure it out, but, here I am!

Thank all you other users for your insight.

I got a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) in computer science, couldn't pass Calculus II. I wanted to get a job right out of college and my professors failed to warn me about what happens next. I immediately ran into "you need work experience to get the job." So, I'm saddled with student debt trying to make it on my own, and now I can't get a job in computer science until I have work experience. So, I end up doing the job before I got my college degree, because I couldn't wait to earn money.

Anyways, now I'm considering trying to use my degree and I want to volunteer for Ubuntu, but I have no idea where to start. I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, been using Xubuntu and Ubuntu for about seven months. My programming is rusty, I haven't programmed in years after being frustrated about not being warned about that a 4 year degree is not enough to get a paying job in computer science.

Sorry, if this is in the wrong area or if my post comes off as a rant. If someone could point me in the right direction ideally I could help Ubuntu become a better operating system and get some valuable work experience. If volunteering for Ubuntu is too difficult for me given the above, can someone point me where to volunteer to get work experience, please?

Hello. Total newbie who does not even use UBUNTU yet. I just joined the community after being unable to download UBUNTU from the website. I thought I might be able to resolve the issue and will be in search mode for a while. There seems to be a great deal of information here and I will be browsing until I feel a bit more comfortable with where things are. Thanks for your patience.

I'm a self-taught computer hobbyist. My day job is a radio design engineer. I am also in a band so have applications for computers for sound and light control. I am mostly a computer user but can "go under the hood" at times as I have been dabbling in Unix and Linux since 1990. I have various Desktop systems running Linux along with a bunch RPi, Beaglebone and Odroid.
