 * [[Rocket2DMn]] - I've been working with bodhi on the Beginners Team for over a year, and on forum staff with him for about 8 months, and he has always proven to be thoughtful and level-headed. He has a lot of experience interacting directly with Ubuntu users and community leaders, and I'm positive he would make an excellent addition to the Forum Council! Like Matthew, I stand by my comments from when he applied for Ubuntu membership.

About Me

Bodhi.zazen from the Ubuntu forums.

Bodhi.zazen is derived from Buddhism. "Bodhi" is a symbol of enlightenment and refers to the tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment. "Zazen" is the sitting meditation at the heart of Zen Buddhism.

I am a non-IT professional in Montana and a father to four children. I chose Montana for the natural beauty and the solitude of the outdoors. I spend my weekends with the children hiking, skiing and touring the local hot springs.

The Ubuntu Community was invaluable to me as I learned Linux and I was able to migrate to Ubuntu (no more closed source OS), at least for all boxes under my influence. The openness and welcoming spirit of the Ubuntu Forums is an invaluable asset to the broader Linux community and it is an honor to be a member of the community.

Testimonials (old, from the Ubuntu Membership process)

  • MattHelmke - Bodhi is an amazing part of the Ubuntu Forums community. As the leader of the Beginners Team, he has shown incredible patience and ability to teach new users and ease their transition from other operating systems. He is gracious, highly knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, and consistently gives people a positive impression of the forums, the Ubuntu community, and the software itself. I can't think of any candidate to whom I would give a higher recommendation. Approve him immediately! Smile :)

  • Tseliot - Bodhi is a very knowledgeable member of the staff on ubuntuforums.org. His involvement in the Ubuntu Forums community, especially as regards helping beginners, is admirable.

  • bapoumba - All my best cheers to Bodhi on his application for Ubuntu membership. His knowledge, dedication and patience towards forum members are well known and the forums would not be the same without him. His inputs are always balanced and appreciated when it come to moderating the forums.

  • Cloudfx - Bodhi is an active forum admin and beginners team member. He gave me a huge hand when I converted to Ubuntu, and I support his membership 100%.

  • Joeb454 - Bodhi was a huge help to me after I joined the forums, and very welcoming in his leadership of the Beginners Team. Personally I feel he does a great job in moderating the forums & leading the team, and has taught me a lot about Ubuntu/Linux.

  • overdrank - Bodhi is a great influence in the community, forums, Beginners & Unanswered Post Teams. Always willing to help in anyway.

  • Joseph Price - Not sure I can say anything else without repeating the above. Bodhi's been a great forums moderator for some time and he's got my backing for membership.

  • RyanTroy - Bodhi, is a great asset to the Ubuntuforums and has taken on many forum related tasks and does a outstanding job with them. I am very glad he is part of our team, a true rockstar on the forums with over 10,000 posts Smile :)

  • StaceyRVC - Bodhi is always there when you need him to lend you a hand. He has been a pleasure to talk to and receive help from. I enjoy how patient he is when dealing with people and the current issues they are having. I am glad to know someone as knowledgeable as him.

  • Rocket2DMn - It is easy to see that Bodhi's lengthy and continued contributions to the forums more than warrant Ubuntu Membership, but perhaps his shining attribute is his ability to draw others toward deeper involvement in the community. The Beginners Team has had a major impact on the forums, and has expanded to the community wiki, launchpad, and IRC. Bodhi has always remained professional, patient, and open to new ideas - he truly embodies the finest traits of an Ubuntu Member.

  • MikeBasinger - Bodhi is a fantastic contributor to the Ubuntu Forums. I echo the sentiments voiced about and support him 100% for membership.

Testimonials (new, for the CC to see as we consider bodhi.zazen for membership on the Forum Council)

  • MattHelmke - Bodhi is already an Ubuntu Member and an amazing part of the Ubuntu Forums community. He leads our Beginners Team and has shown excellent leadership in developing a group of volunteers to assist newcomers to the forums. I will also echo my comments above, made when he was applying for membership.

  • Joeb454 - As Matthew said - bodhi is a fantastic member of the community, and as a member of the Beginners Team & Forum Staff with bodhi, I can say that he's both a pleasure to work with, and an awesome role model. The amount of patience he shows is quite frankly astonishing, and this shows in his dealings with newcomers to Ubuntu. As I stated above, I give my full support for bodhi's membership to the FC.

  • Rocket2DMn - I've been working with bodhi on the Beginners Team for over a year, and on forum staff with him for about 8 months, and he has always proven to be thoughtful and level-headed.
