Czajkowski

Well for starters I’m Laura Czajkowski, a 30 year old Software Tester, living in Dublin at present. I’m originally from Limerick, and  moved to Dublin in January 2008 where I began my new job at Quest Computing.

Before  I moved up I was actively involved in the running of the UL Computer Society, Skynet as Treasurer and also as President.  When I signed up I couldn’t get the user name czajkowski as the nick was too long so I took cypher.  I organised many talks and came up with SkyCon. A conference to celebrate 15 years of Skynet and to promote Open Source.

Since moving to Dublin I’ve become more involved in ILUG, and Ubuntu-ie .  I’ve started my own ossbarcamp up in and held 2 in 2009, but hope to run more in Ireland in 2010. I’ve collaborated with other events on Open Source in Dublin and work with many groups to help promote their areas.

I’m an Ubuntu end user and Member.  I help where I can and am involved in promoting Ubuntu here in Ireland.  I orgnaise events and have started to give talks where possible to people who may be interested in learning more about Ubuntu and Open Source.

I was elected to the Ubuntu LoCo council in November 2009, and I work on the Ubuntu NGO project which aims to promote and help NGOs who use Ubuntu and other forms of Open Source applications.

When I’m not flying the flag of Open Source, my second love is Rugby, hailing from Munster I’m a proud rugby fan and follow my team wherever I can.

I love to travel, see new places and experience new culture and sights.Preferably in the sun and anywhere there is heat! Places I’d love to visit are New Zealand and South Africa.

In my spare time when I’m not organising events or watching rugby, I like to walk and take photographs, I’m no professional, but like to take snaps of places I’ve been.

I dislike Fish.

This is me…. at least for now.
