Nathan is not just a good developer: he's an ''excellent'' developer: he makes something that just works out-of-the-box and then keeps on pounding it until it's the fastest and most efficient thing around... -- [[LaunchpadHome:fabrizio-marana]] <<DateTime(2015-06-15T22:23:36Z)>>

Nathan is an amazing guy. Whether he is writing awesome software (NitroShare, StackApplet), helping people in Ask Ubuntu chat, or posting on the main site, Nathan has done an outstanding job helping build Ask Ubuntu, its community, and by extension the greater Ubuntu community. I cannot imagine what AU would be today without him. I highly recommend Nathan for membership! - -- [[LaunchpadHome:sethj]] <<DateTime(2015-06-15T21:18:41Z)>>

Nathan was patient/responsive/helpful to Qt questions in AU chat when I was working to learn some PyQt. -- [[LaunchpadHome:aking1012-com]] <<DateTime(2015-06-15T21:16:27Z)>>

Nathan is an excellent person, and a great developer. He has helped out quite often, helping people in Ask Ubuntu, and has contributed quite a bit, whether it's through creating excellent software like NitroShare or StackApplet, or contributing to the community to make Ubuntu better, he has definitely made a substantial impact and contribution on the Ubuntu community. I wholeheartedly recommend him for Ubuntu membership, 100%. - -- [[LaunchpadHome:teward]] <<DateTime(2015-06-15T17:48:12-0500)>>

As one of the Ask Ubuntu moderators, I have had the privilege of working with Nathan multiple times over the years, and he has repeatedly proven himself to be someone who is kind, helpful, and very knowledgable on a great many things. If he doesn't know the answer, he also is not afraid to say "I don't know". I highly recommend Nathan for Ubuntu membership. -- [[LaunchpadHome:jamesgifford]] <<DateTime(2015-06-15T19:33:21-0500)>>
