Location: Ohio, USA

About Me
Well, what's to say? I have been using some form of Ubuntu since 6.10 (Which I updated to Lubuntu 10.04 a week before 10.10 came out.) I've been off and on IRC since 2008, but now I'm on full time thanks to the help of irssi and screen.
I have volunteered in the IS department at a local hospital for over 400 hours over a 3 year period.
I've been a fair board member, CARTeens instructor, Jr Leader, and club president in 4-H with 6 years of self-determined projects on computers. |

Community Participation
IRC
I'm currently helping out in the #lubuntu and #xubuntu IRC channels. I plan to continue helping in the support channels and learn from the others in there as well.
Part of being in the Lubuntu community, I understand the role of Catalysts and also OP for our channels.
I'm in quite a few channels, but I can usually be found in one of the following Ubuntu channels:
- #ubuntu-us-oh
- #lubuntu
- #xubuntu
- #kubuntu
- #xubuntu-devel
- #lubuntu-offtopic
- #xubuntu-offtopic
- #kubuntu-offtopic
- #ubuntu-beginners
- #ubuntu-beginners-team
- #ubuntu-youth
And you can find me in other random freenode channels.
ISO Testing
|
As part of the Lubuntu and Xubuntu teams, I do ISO testing and bug reporting and get to work some great people in both communities. I firmly believe there is a place for both flavors. |
US Ohio LoCo
As a member of the Ohio Local Community, I attend the local Ubuntu Hour regularly, hangout in our IRC channel and attend other LoCo events. I hope to attend OLF and as many other statewide events as I can! |

Ubuntu Beginners Team
|
I am an active member of Ubuntu Beginners Team, I welcome people and try to guide them along the process of joining the Ubuntu community by setting up Launchpad, a wiki page, getting identified with the focus groups, and setting up their nick on IRC. I also provide support when I can. |
Launchpad
When first setting up Launchpad to officially join our LoCo, I signed the CoC and made sure to have all the requirements fulfilled. I have since then joined a few teams, reported bugs, and tried out the code hosting (even though I am not a programmer) |

Zenix
During 2011, I had the honor of working with BodhiZazen on his Debian remix called Zenix. At the time, I didn't fully know him and how involved he was with the Ubuntu community. I was the main tester and now I am a forum moderator. It was with this experience that I decided to help Xubuntu with ISO testing and later with Lubuntu before they got official support. My thanks to the Zenix team with starting me on the path to getting involved in the testing aspect and what I learned with them.
Future Aim In Community
I will keep on helping in IRC, ISO testing, our Local Community, UBT and support. It would be great to get people I know using something in the Ubuntu family! I believe the 4-H motto fits here too, "To make the best better". I would like to become an official Ubuntu Member.
Testimonials
If you wish to describe any of my contributions to the Ubuntu Community, please feel free to do so below. Thank You.
What is there to add? He is the Team Leader for lubuntu irc channel ops tasked with liasing with the ubuntu-ops IIRC. He's active and very helpful on the lubuntu channels. Involved in testing the pre-releases etc. I have no hesitation in recommending him for ubuntu membership. phillw December 29th, 2011
I've known Unit193 for about a year now. I think it's a shame not more people have put up a testimonial for this great person. He's very responsible and dedicated to the latest official flavor of Ubuntu: Lubuntu where he's IRC OP TeamLeader. He's got my recommendation for Ubuntu Membership. MrChrisDruif January 4th, 2012
I first "met" Unit193 on IRC, in #ubuntu-us-oh about 6 months ago. He is friendly, informative, and he knows what he is doing on IRC land, as well as Ubuntu in general. +1 for Ubuntu Membership from me. jamesgifford
IRC OP's
phillw was delegated with the day to running of #lubuntu and #lubuntu-offtopic well over a year ago
phillw +votsriRfAF (founder) [modified 1 year, 13 weeks, 5 days, 18:36:31 ago]).
As a part of that it was left to my discretion to appoint OPs as and when I felt they were ready. as nhandler was my mentor for a while on UBT and instilled into me the role of freenode-catalyst and also the higher Code-of Conduct Higher Code of Conduct as it pertains to both forum dealings, IRC dealings etc. Each and everyone of the current OPs on lubuntu not only follow the letter of the rules, but also the spirit. They are our ambassadors, and I am privalidged to count them also as good friends. Furthermore, Unit193 now heads up the lubuntu-ops team and has been granted Founder status in order that he can speak for lubuntu on matters IRC. I have no hesitation in recommendeding Unit193 who was appointed as a lubuntu Founder Unit193 +votsriRfAF (founder) [modified 1 week, 2 days, 21:13:25 ago] for full core OP's adoption, having previously been an OP. phillw 7th Jan 2012
