* Lately I have been getting involved with helping people on the forms with fixing the common problems associated with Ubuntu. Through helping them I have gained even more knowledge where i can transfer that to IRC allowing for more people to be alble to get the help they need. I try to be as humble as i can when giving help because in the past i have felt belittled by other people and will often try to be as compassionate as i can no matter what the person did or was doing. * Help People in the Ubuntu Forms: I have been spending time answering questions simular to ones I answer on irc or even more "new user" questions. Through this work, I can not only help others in their efforts to get Ubuntu off and rolling, but I advance my knowledge as well. There are cases on the forms pages where I feel like we are helping each other. |

About Me:
- I have been using Ubuntu full time since 7.10 and have enjoyed it tremendously. From then on I have used Ubuntu exclusively. Throughout the Last several years I have been using Ubuntu I have been enjoying loving the experience it provides. I love the opportunities it allows, and also encourages. I see myself always using Ubuntu or if something happens to the operating system, another Linux based distro. It suits me and should continue to suit me. I have also gotten involved in the Ubuntu community. It has been about a year and a half since I started to get involved with the community. I have done lots of things to help and they will be described bellow, and all the things i do with Ubuntu and Ubuntu or Linux Linux related, I love doing because it not only helps me, but helps others and the project as well. I hope that in time i can become even more involved in the community and in turn possibly share Ubuntu with even more who are still unaware through greater and greater means.

techinical-support IRC Ubuntu Forms Blogging my personal Ubuntu blog www.philipballew.wordpress.com herr I blog and write about my use with Ubuntu, my involvement in the Ubuntu community, and ways I see that we can make Ubuntu better for everyone * Guest writer for www.iheartubuntu.com. This consists of writing software reviews, news stories, how-to articles and anything elae that looks like it would be intresting to read. I have been a member of California LoCo for about a year and a half: I help wherever is necessary, and use this group as a way to find other people who use Ubuntu and together promote it as a successful operating system. Through being a part of this group i have been able to get even more involved through events and the like * Co-founder of the San Diego Ubuntu Hour. I Help aside from starting it; organizing, running and promoting the Hour: I organize the outreach, logistics and planning for The hour we run once a month. I am known for carrying around flyers for the Ubuntu hour and passing it out to people i know who I think might be interested in attending. I email the list a few days before the event again just as a reminder of what is coming up and look for possibly having more people come out if possible. When planning an event of this goes. location is critical. thats why i have picked some of the locations we have held the event at, therefor I can scout out good seating a hour to half hour in advance in order to ensure enough seats for as many visitors as possible. Phil has been an active member of the San Diego Ubuntu Loco contingent since we started it in November 2010. He's a good supporter of Ubuntu and the Community! --kdub [KevinDuBois] I was very impressed with Philip when I met him at SCaLE9x where we worked together at the Ubuntu booth. His charismatic nature makes him easy to work with and for him to convey the Ubuntu spirit. He is a perfect communicator that worked well with any visitors coming to the Ubuntu booth. He is also active in IRC, rarely missing a team meeting, and helps run the Ubuntu Hour in San Diego. I am working with him to possibly set up another Ubuntu Hour in Claremont, CA (location of five major universities). As always, I look forward to working with Phil and together helping spread Ubuntu! -- [ iheartubuntu ] 03/28/2011 Trustworthy, kind, and always willing to provide a helping hand, Phil is the kind of guy you would want on your team (whatever it may be). seidos 5/8/2011 Phil has surprised me with his enthusiasm. He has stepped up with the Loco in San Diego and has pushed forward with speed and a desire to help. He truly represents what the spirit of Ubuntu is. Phil will succeed and and any team he is on will succeed. @-- david.wonderly 2011-05-17 22:13:38@ Phil has been a thoughtful and active member of the local Ubuntu community, and instrumental in getting Ubuntu Hour San Diego off the ground. He's made sure to get involved in local events such as SCaLE9X and these events have been all the better for it. He is an asset to any project he is involved with. -- -- nhaines 2011-05-19 18:59:04 Phil is a voice of reason and a helpful hand for all who frequent #ubuntu-beginners -- holstein august 12th, 2011
