Basically if my pc is on and I'm sitting in front of it, I'll be found somewhere on the IRC. Private Messages are always welcome if needed, otherwise just ping me in one of the following channels. *#freenode *#ubuntu-beginners *#ubuntu-beginners-team *#ubuntu-beginners-wiki *#ubuntu-classroom *#ubuntu-classroom-backstage *#ubuntu-classroom-chat *#ubuntu-learning *#ubuntu-manual *#ubuntu-news === Team & Focus Group(s) Leading === Currently I'm the Lead for the [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki|UBT Wiki Focus Group]]. As one who is used to doing, not directing, I would expect not only the members to accomplish and finish the tasks but also myself as , "For action to be inspired, action must previously be shown..." I would also like for the Wiki FG to become more involved with the other teams and focus groups as we the Wiki writers are in a way responsible for the instructions and help material people read, use, and follow.... It is my hope that this group can become not only a team that always strives to help both the new and experienced user, but also a team that can have fun and enjoy the work which it produces. I've also recently had the honor of taking on the title of ''Co-Lead'' for the [[UbuntuYouth|Ubuntu Youth Team]]. What I'm doing with that team is help it get off the ground and set a direction, project(s) and goal(s) for it and the members of the team. It's a great bunch and I'm sure that will some help and direction they'll become a great part of the Ubuntu Community. ==== Mentoring ==== As a fairly experienced Ubuntu Beginners Team member, I've had the extreme privilege of the taking on of Padawan(s). I thoroughly enjoy the drive and enthusiasm that each one of them has shown and I believe that all of them will become welcome editions to the Ubuntu Community. '''Current Padawan(s):''' [[Mohi]] === Writing and Doc/Wiki Work === As a very proficient Wiki/Doc Editor I spend quite a bit of time browsing the {*} [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com|Ubuntu Team Wiki]] and the {*} [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community|Help.Ubuntu/community]] sites, looking for pages that need either a major edit, grammar correction(s), wording and sentence structure fixes, or other stuff that could just use a general "touch-up".

He's always very helpful on the IRC channels by helping new users to Linux/Ubuntu. He's a great person who I met on the Ubuntu Beginners Team channel (#ubuntu-beginners). He's great guy who deserves to become an Ubuntu Member. -- [[DiegoTurcios|DiegoTc ]] I support Zach's application for Ubuntu Membership as I think that he will become a very productive member of the team. He joins the IRC channel quite often and is very polite while in the IRC, and he also accepts advice from others with an open mind. His on going project with the documentation of the usage of Firebird DBMS on the Ubuntu system is very good and I encourage him to do the same work on other areas of the Ubuntu doc. -- [[PabloRubianes]] I have had the pleasure of working with Zach in the Ubuntu Beginners Team. He has shown to be a very reliable and hard working person within the community. I feel his contributions have been to an extent which are above and beyond the average team member. He has shown a passion for helping others, and a passion for the Ubuntu community in general. He has also demonstrated his quite apt leadership abilities by being the lead of the UBT Wiki Focus Group in which he has played a very important role. I feel he would make an excellent candidate for Ubuntu Membership and will do well with whatever future endeavors he takes part in. I can honestly give Zach my full support for Ubuntu Membership, and I hope his application is received favorably. -- [[swoody]] I've worked with Zach on the Ubuntu Beginners Team, where he has shown passion and dedication to all aspects of the Ubuntu project he is involved in. His leadership of the UBT Wiki group has been impressive, to say the least, to which I give him my full support for Ubuntu membership. -- [[LaunchpadHome:joeb454]] Zach recently volunteered his time to help work on the -news team. He seems energetic with a willingness to both learn from others as well as teach and share his knowledge with those around him. He seems eager to step up to plate and help out in many areas of the community. I would add the same caution as jcastro gave me - +1 for membership with a reminder that community involvement is a marathon not a sprint. -- [[LaunchpadHome:akgraner]] <<DateTime(2010-06-07T21:44:08-0500)>> I can back all the work that Zach has does with the Beginners Team. His work with the wiki team has been outstanding, and I can vouch for his drive, personality and attention to detail. Please look on this application favorably -- [[LaunchpadHome:paultag]] <<DateTime(2010-06-08T05:12:47-0500)>> While of late I have not had as much time as I would have liked to work with Zach on his various projects, I can attest to his enthusiasm and exuberance he brings to his work. He is very passionate about helping people and Ubuntu. I only wish I could have worked more side by side with him. [[LaunchpadHome:lukjad86]] ---- CategoryHomepage |

About Me
Hello, my name is Kev.
My Involvement with the Ubuntu Community
IRC
As a Member/Mentor of the Ubuntu Beginners Team and several other teams I spend quite a bit of time helping out on IRC.

Team & Focus Group(s) Leading
Currently I'm the Lead for the UBT Wiki Focus Group. As one who is used to doing, not directing, I would expect not only the members to accomplish and finish the tasks but also myself as , "For action to be inspired, action must previously be shown..." I would also like for the Wiki FG to become more involved with the other teams and focus groups as we the Wiki writers are in a way responsible for the instructions and help material people read, use, and follow.... It is my hope that this group can become not only a team that always strives to help both the new and experienced user, but also a team that can have fun and enjoy the work which it produces.
I've also recently had the honor of taking on the title of Co-Lead for the Ubuntu Youth Team. What I'm doing with that team is help it get off the ground and set a direction, project(s) and goal(s) for it and the members of the team. It's a great bunch and I'm sure that will some help and direction they'll become a great part of the Ubuntu Community.
Mentoring
As a fairly experienced Ubuntu Beginners Team member, I've had the extreme privilege of the taking on of Padawan(s). I thoroughly enjoy the drive and enthusiasm that each one of them has shown and I believe that all of them will become welcome editions to the Ubuntu Community.
Current Padawan(s): Mohi
Writing and Doc/Wiki Work
As a very proficient Wiki/Doc Editor I spend quite a bit of time browsing the 
Ubuntu Team Wiki and the Help.Ubuntu/community sites, looking for pages that need either a major edit, grammar correction(s), wording and sentence structure fixes, or other stuff that could just use a general "touch-up". A few examples of my work are listed below.
To look at any changes that I've made to the pages listed below, see the page history.
