About Me

About Me

My name is Chris Woollard. I am a keen supporter of Free & Open Source Software (FOSS). I am also a strong advocate of Ubuntu and can almost always be found helping with the development of this project.

At present I am  an active member of the Ubuntu Manual Project. My main role is as a writer and editor. In addition I am now helping with the development of the Ubuntu Developer Manual.

Launchpad ID: https://launchpad.net/~cwoollard
IRC: ChrisWoollard on irc.freenode.net (#ubuntu-manual, #ubuntuone, #quickly)

My other interests include reading (mostly technical) books. I am never truly happy unless I am learning something new.

Now for my real job…

I am a Live Systems Engineer for the Greater London Authority. I am responsible for mostly web-based applications that run on either Apache HTTP server (Drupal), Apache Tomcat with either MySQL or an Oracle back-end.

The future

In the past I had my own show on a local community hospital radio station. This has now stopped due to the hospital closing down the radio station. Now I am working on starting up my own bi-weekly podcast similar to that of Linux Outlaws and Ubuntu UK Podcast. It may take me a while to decide on the format of the show. So keep an eye out for that.
