I believe Torsten has the knowledge and experience necessary to be a Ubuntu member. * Torsten has done some great work contributing to Ubuntu cloud, his work to UEC presistency was great. He's always active on #ubuntu-cloud answering questions and helping. He also presented a session on Ubuntu Cloud Days (AhmedKamal) * TeTeT is very active on the cloud arena, and shows the persistence/patience/respect that are key to winning over people on UEC and Ubuntu. I am glad for the work he is doing and believe he will do great as an Ubuntu member ([[Hggdh]]) * 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. * Torsten has done a great job in the Ubuntu world for several years now. I was impressed by his diligence more than one time. Whenever he asked technical questions, he had done his research before and his answer always was "Ok thanks, and I fixed the documentation." == Recent Talks and Publications == * UEC persistency, UbuntuCloudDays * The Ubuntu Home, LinuxConf Europe, Speaker * Ubuntu IT Infrastructure Management, Ubuntu Live, Speaker * Supporting Ubuntu, LinuxTag, Speaker * Ubuntu Love Day, LinuxTag, Panel Chair * [[http://iospress.metapress.com/app/home/contribution.asp?referrer=parent&backto=issue,5,6;journal,1,44;linkingpublicationresults,1:103167,1|Privacy in Video Surveilled Areas]], Privacy Security and Trust 2006, Best Paper Award, Lead Author * Enhancing Privacy in Video Surveilled Rooms, UKUUG Linux Summer Conference 2006, Lead Author * Video - Wiedergabe, Bearbeitung und Streaming unter Linux, Open Source Press 2005, Editor * Videobearbeitung mit MLT, LinuxTag 2005, Author * Serious Fun.
