[Richard Vajdel <riko442@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My name is Richard and I am from Martin, Slovakia. I started using
Ubuntu 3 years ago ( 10.04). I was always interested in open source
and free software, so experimenting with Linux was natural progress. I
convinced and persuaded in to using Ubuntu some friends, family
members ( also my father reguarly talks to his colleagues in work
about Linux and Ubuntu) and all of them find Linux as full featured
alternative experience to Windows.

I am general editor for news portal( coypright problems, piracy,
politics and stuff), so I can write articles about this, also I am
admin of FB page dedicated to Ubuntu in my country and I am moderator
for Ubuntu website in my country ( unfortunately, owner of domain and
server shuted down website, so I can do nothing for now). So i can
help in this way.

Thanks

Richard
