== 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)
