P1080585 Amber Graner - A Year NTEU

Amber Graner gives a presentation "A Year NTEU* (pronounced In-to) Ubuntu and the Open Source Community". She told us about her journey from a complete Linux newbie (the term she uses is NTEU, or Non-Technical End User), to becoming a Ubuntu User Magazine contributor in one year. She spread a message that everyone, no matter how non-technical they are, can become proficient in Ubuntu. She discussed many ways in which NTEUs can contribute to Ubuntu community. Oh, and even if you think you are non-technical, you are probably "technical" to someone else who knows less than you -- and you can help them to use open source.
