Testimonials

Sean is a very good person I met. He helped quite a lot of people. -- smartboyhw

Sean has been very helpful for the Xubuntu project during the Quantal development cycle. He's been helping in getting things done that others have been unable to finish, or start. When Sean promises to deliver, he does that, and always in time. He was recently made a member of the Xubuntu team, and I am happily looking forward for his future contributions. A very strong +1 for Ubuntu membership from me. -- Pasi Lallinaho, Xubuntu Project Lead

I got to know Sean as a bugreporter for Xubuntu. He meticulously reported UI quirks with an eye for detail and perfection. This was a new and impressive experience for me, which is why I got in touch with him directly and we have been working on several projects together since. I can say that he is a very pleasant and reliable co-worker and I hope he'll stay with us for a long time! A strong-as-can-be +1 for his Ubuntu membership. -- Simon Steinbeiß, Xubuntu Artwork Lead

I have recently become more involved in Xubuntu during a dev cycle than I have any other flavour of late; Sean was one of those that always appeared to be around and working on aspects of it's development. A really helpful attitude to others - an excellent candidate for Ubuntu membership. +1 from me Elfy Forum Admin
