Summary

Started with Linux for personal use a long time ago. Since 2005 mainly the Ubuntu distribution. End 2005 I joined the Dutch forum to support other users. Since 2006 I write Dutch documentation wiki articles.

Background

Born in 1963 in the Netherlands. After my study start working as a computer-system engineer and still do. As an engineer it's easy to use Ubuntu and other open source software. There is lots of information available on the internet in the English language.

But for many Dutch users, information in there native language will be helpful to discover, try, use and understand the software Ubuntu offers. I joined the LoCo to help building and maintaining Dutch documentation. And it turns out to be fun to work together as a team and with other users.

Past activities

  • attended some LoCo Release Party's in the Netherlands

    • DenHaag (9.04)

    • Oss (9.10)
    • Ede (10.04)

  • attended the LoCo irl team-meeting in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

  • Created/Edited/Revised more than 100 articles on the Dutch Wiki, for example about Grub2, Wubi, Lost password, ...

  • Did a review and made corrections on many articles to help other authors.

  • Updated or re-structured old articles for example Install the Desktop or Using the terminal, VirtualBox, Wine, ...

  • Initiate a teampage and monthly irc team meeting to improve and maintain the documentation as a team.

  • Made some translations and screenshots for the Dutch translation of the Ubuntu Manual.

Current activities

Future plans

  • Continue to lead and expand the Dutch documentation team.
  • Make own contributions to the Dutch documentation wiki.

  • Stay involved and help the Ubuntu (LoCo) community where possible.

  • Very interested in new ways of (translating) documentation as the Ubuntu Manual.

Endorsements

"If it weren't for Cees tremendous efforts there wouldn't have been an Ubuntu NL Documentatie Team and our documentation would have been in a far worse shape. Thanks to his organisational work we now have a team to look after the documentation in a structured way. Cees has also been very active in LoCo politics, participating in the monthly IRC meetings, contributing to important discussions and helping with leading meetings. He is one of the more active persons in the Ubuntu NL community. Therefore I heartily endorse Cees Sluis for Ubuntu Membership." -- sense 2010-11-12 20:21:08

"I got to know Cees well when I joined the Ubuntu NL Documentation Team. He enthusiastic leads this team and always listen to someones ideas. Except for the maintainance of the Documentation articles, Cees also stimulates improvement of the wiki in general. Besides the Documentation Team Cees is involved in several Ubuntu NL wide projects and discussions and can play devil's advocate at the right time. " -- rachidbm

"Cees has done a great job for Ubuntu-nl, and very much for the Ubuntu-nl-docu team. Dedicated, hard working and active for the Ubuntu Dutch loCo for several years now. He plays on important role in discussions about the future and development of the our Dutch loCo. So a +1 from me for his Ubuntu Membership." -- leoquant
