 * Micah has done a tremendous job since April 2009 for the mozillateam. He started contributing by working restlessly on firefox bugs which made a huge difference and took a lot of work from my shoulders. From there on he worked on improving his technical skills up to the point where he now works as a fully-empowered mozillateam member fixing mozilla daily branch breakages and other stuff that needs to get done. In his work on the mozillateam, I got to know Micah as a great ubuntu addict that you can rely on as he constantly follows through on his commitments; he has the kind of attitude towards users and technology that we need in ubuntu and is a big win for the ubuntu community as a whole. Hence, I fully backup his application for ubuntu membership; I see this only as just a first step in becoming an ubuntu developer in the not so far future. Keep up the rocking work, Micah! - '''asac'''

Testimonials

  • Micah has consistently been present and active on bug-control, and is very helpful and accommodating on calls for help in the IRC channels. Of the many people I have helped in #ubuntu-bugs and bug-control, he is certainly the one I am proudest of having helped. He is, without a question, one I heartly endorse for Ubuntu membership. And that's not even talking about his work with the Mozilla team! --Hggdh
