 * I've worked with Torsten primarily when he is working as a "power user" of Ubuntu. By that, I mean that in his role educating about Ubuntu, he is interested in ubuntu being polished and working well for real world users. As a result, he files bugs and contacts the developers to help that happen. It was his idea to pursue "UEC Persistency", which brings back 2 major features to 10.04 LTS.
