New Years Resolution

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: December 29, 2008 at 11:04 am

Here is my new years resolution:

Quit smoking (again!)
Work more with upstream
Contribute more time to FOSS
Contribute way more time to Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and KDE

Who is Richard A. Johnson?

My name is Richard A. Johnson. I am a professional developer, as well as an open source enthusiast, advocate, and author. I spend any free time I can get cycling.

Back in 1994 I was introduced to the world of open source software by installing Linux on a PC I had purchased from the Navy Exchange. At that time I had no idea what I was going up against, but never once did I let myself get frustrated, as Windows had already done that to me. Since then, I have completely immersed myself into the open source world and have been an active contributor.
