About Me

When I first started using Ubuntu, on 6.06 release day, I needed a lot of help and I also had a lot of questions which may have appeared silly to some people but were challenging questions to me and the members of the Ubuntu Forums where a great help to me.

I am still a beginner with some/many aspects of Ubuntu/*nix, but as a thank you to the community for the help I received/receive I try my hardest to help others with the parts that I know, or even parts I don't know and I will learn as I solve others problems.

I spend a lot of my time in the "Absolute Beginner Talk" Forum on the Ubuntu Forums trying to help everyone I can. If I can not help someone myself most the time I will spend time searching around the web and trying to find an answer by any means possible to help the person in need. I also spend alot of time on the IRC rooms I am near enough always connected even if not present to reply immediately.

Testimonials

forestpixie - I have worked with saj0577 in the Beginners Team since I joined it myself, a very a helpful and patient person. I find him easy to work with and have noticed his help on the forums on many occasions - his help there is easily understood new users. I think he would make a good member and I have no qualms whatosever in adding my name to those supporting his application for Ubuntu membership.

Joeb454 - Having worked with Saj0577 on the beginners team, he gives fantastic help to anybody who asks, regardless of how much he knows about the subject. He seems to look into it just to help that person, which is fantastic. As well as this I've noticed Saj on the forum's, where he is just as helpful and always polite in his posts. I fully support Saj's application for Ubuntu membership, as well as any further involvement in the Ubuntu Community.

DavidFutcher - I have worked with Saj0577 on the Ubuland project and he is a great leader. He is very hard working and is dedicated towards making the Ubuntu community a better place for others.

Stephen, the utopian helping hand.

For me it is a pleasure to write this testimonial about how Stephen has helped me during the past months.

On one hand, I should mention his gorgeous technical culture (hardware, software, any kind of problem) and knowledge, teaching about it better than any kind of professional teacher could. Moreover, he always is up-to-date in cooler ubuntu news that can be interesting for me, and show me his cool works and offers to explain me how to do them when I be free of college exams.

On the other hand, he always opens me private conversation on MSN to ask me for how was my day, and tries to help me when I’m on a stressful time telling me how we gonna enjoy learning cool things when I finish all the stuff.

To sum up, I’m sure he has been one of the best things that has happened me since I’ve got internet.

Looking forward to keep chatting with him, Fred - Fredscripts

He has been very helpful and a good friend Glad that I got to know him. He knows a lot about Linux, he is great for people ho just started to use Linux, like me for example. At first, I didn't know what I was doing so I went on the forums. Here is where I found Saj0577.

Hehe, I remember when I first talked to him. I was requesting help with duel monitors. I had everything set up. Lead, laptop and my other monitor. Monitor just had the display of 'no input' so I was receiving help and Saj0577 was helping me. Then he asked to go on msn. So we did and went through everything to get it working. Nothing worked. Editing the xorg.conf never did anything. But, around a month later, I noticed that the VGA lead I was using was broken xD

Saj0577 spends most of him time (when hes not doing anything) helping the community. He is very good and has great understanding of Linux. I would recommend him anything anywhere for help - Tom--d

ShaunDennie Saj0577 is a smart and helpful person that contributes a lot to our community. I know him primarily via IRC and he's always helpful and a model example of how an Ubuntu Member should act. I fully support his application for membership.
