Participation in the Ubuntu Community
Summary
My primary avenue of assistance in the Ubuntu community is over Internet Relay Chat. I frequently assist all across the IRC world with Ubuntu and general Linux issues as much as I can, due to my frequency of visiting the largest IRC networks. Aside from that, I answer any questions about any form of technology to the best of my ability, or I will try to point the user in the right direction.
Team Involvement
Ubuntu Beginners Team
I am a active member of the Ubuntu Beginners Team. The Beginners Team (or BT for short) is focused upon assisting new Ubuntu users transition from Windows/Mac. We generally patrol the "Absolute Beginners Talk" forum, assisting where we can.
BT Development Focus Group
I am a member of the BT Development Focus Group (or FG for short). The Development FG focuses, obviously, upon development and programming. All that aside, I am mainly on IRC in our channel #ubuntu-beginners-dev providing general assistance to anyone alike.
Ubuntu Forums Unanswered Posts Team
I am a recently appointed leader of the Ubuntu Forums Unanswered Posts Team (known as UFUA or UA). The UA is focused upon replying to questions with no replies, so new users will not feel left out and/or that others do not care about their problems.
Georgia US LoCo
I am a member of the Georgia US LoCo. The Georgia LoCo focuses upon increasing usage of Ubuntu and Linux in general in the peach state. We host install fests and release parties, among other face-to-face meetings.

Testimonials
Ubuntu Membership
Hellow/Colin is a helpful and positive influence in the community, forums, and the Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team. He is always willing to help in anyway that he can either in the forums or on IRC. Vantrax
It has been a lot of fun working with Hellow on the Beginners Team. Despite being young, he is incredibly knowledgeable and is always looking for new things to learn and more ways to contribute! He has continually shown a professional and positive attitude with the team and when helping others on the forums. For being true to the Ubuntu spirit, I support this "young buck" for Ubuntu Membership! - Rocket2DMn
I have found Hellow to be eager to assist new members and always looking for ways to contribute. He is a very upbeat and active member of the BT. I echo Rocket2DMn in his support for this "young buck". PrivateVoid
