I love this blog. As far as my projects go this is one that I enjoy quite a bit, and I hope you do as well. Based on those of you that are brave enough to stop lurking and leave comments make me feel like you do. My main goal is to help educate the world on how to best use, tweak, customize and make-efficient their Ubuntu machines.
While I feel a blog is one of the best ways to bring this information to the masses I also agree that we should have top-of-the-line centralized documentation. The Docs team is doing a fantastic job on putting this together and I hope we all recognize their hard work. For those of you that aren’t aware I’ve included a few links below to the centralized documentation.
This is where my call for a (or a few) volunteers comes in. Based on the work that I’ve been doing here I have been contacted a few times by the documentation team to help on the centralized project. I have tried to contribute where I can, and I want to oblige to their requests, but I just do not have the time. I have done a bit of work on the wiki, I have ported a few of my tutorials to the Community help page, but I simply don’t have the time to continue with both. In my mind it came down to only contributing to the central docs or trying to do both (as the central docs are more important than my blog). I realize, based on my time constraints, that I simply don’t have the time to do both and you’d all be a little upset if I closed up shop here. Thats when the idea hit me. Why not ask you for help? (Isn’t our community great!)
If any of you want to find a worthwhile cause to contribute to and want to work along side me (sorry, maybe not the best selling point) please contact me. I’d love to get a few of you to help me in this project. Mainly it would entail combing through my previous tutorials and verifying that the information is in the docs, and contributing where needed. Also keeping up with me in the future on new tutorials. Long term I see it as a one-person job, but initially a small team would be great!
I’m excited to get it going. I’m excited to meet some more of you. Lets do a good job, improve the documentation, and educate the planet all at the same time! What do you say?
