Testimonials
Even though he has only been a member of the Florida LoCo for a short time, Chris has been very active in our online and in person events. He is always willing to offer help and expertise to us in the IRC channel, and he blogs regularly blogs on Ubuntu subjects. His blog has also been included in http://planet.ubuntu-fl.org. He has also taken the lead on getting our new family-oriented website up and running. I have met Chris and his family on a couple of occasions, and look forward to interacting with him more. He is already becoming an invaluable member of our LoCo, and I only see than increasing in the future. -- mhall119 2009-11-30 15:09:14
I second the kind words that mhall119 has previously said. Chris has a passion for Ubuntu. It's obvious whenever you talk with him, I look forward to seeing good things from him for the Florida Team and Ubuntu! -- itnet7 2009-12-01 20:12:31
