[Rafał Cieślak <rafalcieslak256@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My turn!

I'm Rafał Cieślak, and I am a proud Ubuntu user since 2007.

My most significant contributions to the global community include
being a core developer of the Ubuntu Accomplishments project and an
extensive activity on Ask Ubuntu. I also help fixing bugs here and
there, occasionally contributing to different projects. I am also
generally interested in exploring the ways the community can grow.
Locally, I am working in my community to get more people to know
Ubuntu. In Poland Ubuntu is generally much less known than in other
places, and quite often it is associated with a bad name. I do my best
to change it, and through the past few years I have infected a lot of
people with my Ubuntu-enthusiasm, and they pass this virus further, so
it spreads around very well :-)
I believe Poland deserves as great LoCo as other countries have. I am
exploring ways this might be achieved, but my time is limited -
studying math and computer science simultaneously I am rather a busy
person.
What I use as my homepage is this blog: http://rafalcieslak.wordpress.com/

I consider the Evangelists project as a chance to exchange ideas, to
work together on improving the community, and to explore it's
expansion: to generally spread the word about Ubuntu.
I have not yet discovered any other place in the community which would
gather such passionate members who are willing to participate in
discussions about improving the spread of Ubuntu. I see a great
potential in this project, I hope I might just help it rise!

>> I'm Randall. At a discussion I chaired at UDS-R in Copenhagen last
>> October, it became evident that Ubuntu needed PR and advocacy assistance
>> from our most passionate community members. The concept for "Ubuntu
>> Evangelists" was born. Before taking on this project, I have been
>> involved in local community building activities first in Vancouver and
>> then globally. I've been the Community Manager for Ubuntu Vancouver
>> since 2009, and have been enjoying Ubuntu as my primary system since
>> 2006 or so. By day I'm an IT executive, and in my spare time I work on
>> projects designed to take Ubuntu to new people and places.  What
>> motivates me? The desire to see Ubuntu with a majority market share in
>> the next 5 years. We've waited too long for freedom. It's time to make
>> it happen. My personal site is here if you'd like more info:
