This aspect, however, is similar to the one about Ubuntu expertise in how it is less of a factor than maturity and impartiality.

I'm part of `freyja-dev` headed by @jokerdino. I also am part of [2buntu.com](http://2buntu.com/), founded by @RolandiXor @jrg and @Gui. Although I'm not an active blogger for the last few months. I also do launchpad translations at times.

This is not due to personal preference, however. It is, because I have never really gotten "into it". I have no real *project* I feel I can contribute to, outside of Ask Ubuntu, and I think this keeps me focused, at least.

I have also contributed translations, bug triaging, submitting bug fixes and advocating Ubuntu.

I also try to help in my country (I teach Linux using Ubuntu).

In most of these I've not been a "leader", but I am such on 2buntu, and in my local community, as I'm the one who has introduced many people to Ubuntu in Barbados :).

I used to attend LUG meetings when I was a student in the UK. Otherwise, its mostly here.
