== Ubuntu Membership Endorsements ==

I support Dustin's quest to become a Ubuntu member. He has showed alot of knowledge and experience that I appreciate. He would be a good member of the community -- ChuckShort (zul)

Dustin's done great work, and he's a quick learner. Big +1 from me as well. -- KeesCook (kees)

I'm happy that I get to work with Dustin every day. He's very enthusiastic about Ubuntu and I'd certainly consider him ubuntu member material. -- SorenHansen

== Ubuntu MOTU Endorsements ==

Dustin has been a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable Ubuntu developer for several months now, and I have had long and great discussions with him. He mastered the day-to-day packaging arts and never hesitates to ask for advice when in doubt. He has clear goals for the server area and is working on them consistently. I am happy to advocate him to become a MOTU. -- MartinPitt (pitti)

I'm a advocate of Dustin gaining MOTU privileges. He's conscientious and has a good knack for finding well thought out compromises when weighing conflicting needs. I've been very happy with the quality the packaging work I've seen. -- KeesCook (kees)

I've been following Dustin's work on several projects and have been impressed with how he not only solves a given problem, but looks for ways to solve that entire class of problems. I suspect he'll be a huge asset on the MOTU team. -- BryceHarrington (bryce)

Dustin is one of the key member of the Ubuntu Server team. He has excellent ideas for improvements and always discusses them with other developers. He is able to produce technical solutions of very high quality. I highly recommend him for being part of MOTU. -- MathiasGug (mathiaz)
