== About ==

Hello all,

I'm a 50 year old computer nut and gun nut.  Being raised in a
military family and living all around the world taught me a few
things; be disciplined, be ready for things to change rapidly, remain
calm and don't sweat the small stuff.  Well, after spending a decade
trying MSFT and several flavors of *NIX, someone handed me an Ubuntu
disk: Edgy Eft. This was sometime in '06.  The installation was the
easiest I had ever been through.  Then I started finding out how much
support and documentation was available.  I haven't looked back.
Since then I've tried Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and Xubuntu.  Right now I run
Ubuntu on my laptop and desktop.  Normally I dual-boot my desktop with
Kubuntu so when the mood suits me I can look for bugs in Kubuntu. The
Ubuntu mindset seems to be flexible, fast moving, and above all
friendly and helpful.  It's a great thing to be a part of.  I'm proud
to be part of the Hottest Lo``Co on Earth: the Arizona Lo``Co Team.
The AZ Lo``Co has some great leaders in John Crawford (johnc4510) and
Craig Eddy (tyche).  There are other members that exhibit the spirit
of Ubuntu: Kenny Mc``Henry (kennymc0) and Shane Lofgren (slofgren),
among others.  I can't name all the members that have helped me in
this Lo``Co and in the Ubuntu Community at large.  This spirit of
giving has prompted me to give back in any way I can, so here I am.

== Testimonials ==

=== General Testimonials ===
Sean Fenton - Owner, Breakwater Networks, Oklahoma City, OK
(service at breakwaternetworks.com): Scott has been a friend of mine for
many years.  He is very intelligent, naturally inquisitive and a
social butterfly   (a people person, if you like).  This makes him a
great fit for the community.  After a couple years as a user,
exploring the *buntus and getting to know the system on his computers,
he's refocusing his energy on benefiting the community and operating
system he loves best.  Watch out, bugs, your days are numbered.

Craig A. Eddy (tyche at ubuntu.com):  Scott is an active go-getter.  He
has constantly tried to provide a steady contribution to the Team and
the wider Ubuntu community.  He is friendly, outgoing, and able to get
other people involved in his projects.  Yet he isn't overpowering, or
trying to take over a group, but rather supports the group and it's
leaders whoever they may be.  The questions he asks are good, and the
answers he provides to others are just as good.  I feel privileged to
have been associated with him.

Kenny Mc``Henry (kennymc0 at ubuntu.com): Every time I turn around Scott
seems to be involved with a new project with the team or the community
as a whole. He isn't the kind of person to go and step on toes and
steal leadership from people, rather he helps whenever he can and
helps anyone shoulder any responsibility that they can't quite handle
on their own. You can always see him at an install fest, and if you
ask nicely enough, he may even give you a ride to one. Scott can be a
great asset to the team and the community as a whole now and will
continue to be in the future.

James Mc``Phee (jmcphe at gmail.com):  Scott is one of the most active
members of the AZ Loco and has shouldered a lot of the effort to keep
it an active and thriving community.  We would not be the Loco we are
without him and he deserves recognition for that.  He also possesses a
very smooth leadership style that keeps things moving.  I defer to him
on things Loco.

=== Testimonials for Ubuntu Membership ===
JohnCrawford - Scott is a great Ubuntu example. He has worked very
hard for the Arizona team, he is in our IRC channel constantly and
gives a welcome or lends a helping hand to anyone needing it, he has
help out or organized several installfest, and he has also started
volunteering with the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter. If there is something
that needs attention, Scott is the go to guy. Scott follows the Ubuntu
Code of Conduct. I give Scott my wholehearted backing and vote for
Ubuntu Membership.

Scott Scott Scott...what can I say that will do him justice that
others have not already said? He's an active member of the Ubuntu
Community, not to mention the [[ArizonaTeam|Arizona Team LoCo]]. He's
always helpful and ready to assist those who need help, and is always
ready to learn from others and share his knowledge with those around
him, myself included. I've had a great time knowing him and I hope
that our friendship will continue. He's got my full support in any
endeavor which he chooses and I fully support his application to
Ubuntu Membership. Please look upon his application favorably.
[[zkriesse]]

Doorman352 - Scott demonstrates the spirit of Ubuntu in everything he
does. I have always found him willing to contribute to the community
and to help volunteer. He has always impressed me with his drive for
knowledge and understanding. I've never known him to use his knowledge
or experience to oppress anyone, in fact he shares it willingly, and
expects nothing in return. I would endorse Scott's application for
membership without reservation.

MattHelmke - Scott is a great guy doing wonderful things for the
Arizona LoCo. He should be an official member and I'm convinced he
will continue to be an asset to the community. Unfortunately, I'm
working during the meeting (with no IRC access) but I'm sure the
decision to make him a member will be quick and easy.

Joel Zehring: I've only been running Ubuntu for six months, but I
found the AZ LoCo within a few days of install, thanks in large part
to Scott. His name and handle pop up all over Ubuntu websites, wikis,
forums and channels, all of which are relevant and current. He helped
rolled out Google Apps accounts for AZ LoCo participants, and his
weekly emails have helped me to stay up-to-date on Ubuntu news and
events both local and world-wide. Most importantly, Scott inspires an
open, welcoming culture among Ubuntu users that has made it completely
easy for me to leave those "other" operating systems and use Ubuntu
100% on my personal computer.
