=== General feedback ===
I have worked very closely with Rik before and since being accepted as a Kubuntu Developer, in October 2016. To date, I have sponsored packages from KDE Frameworks and Plasma, and we are currently working on KDE Applications 16.12. Rik is extremely conscience regarding his work and often pulls me up on some of mine! I fully trust his decision making process and the conclusions he reaches. If he is unsure about anything, he will ask others and will only proceed when in procession of all facts and factors.

=== Specific Experiences of working together ===
Rik and Santa worked well together in getting Yakkety released and out the door. Since then Rik has worked hard on the development branch 17.04, codenamed Zesty Zapus. He has also been heavily involved in moving the Kubuntu Continuous Integration (KCI) server to a new, faster server, a task that he has learned a lot and I think secretly enjoyed :)

Rik has also been involved with helping users via bug reports and online forums, often trying to replicate the issue and then researching a fix. His ability to investigate problems never ceases to amaze me.

=== Areas of Improvement ===
I can't think of any area of improvements, only suggest that he keeps doing what he has been doing, learning new things and passing them on to the team. One area we are all lacking in is proper and up-to-date documentation, something that needs to be looked at and some progress made on.
