About Me

Names stlsaint on the Ubuntu forums and just about everywhere else. I enjoy working with computer's in general and linux makes it alot more enjoyable. I am pursuing a degree in Computer Science and 4 year of MCIS.

There's not really much more to me. Ive been working with computers for about 5 years now. I started out on 98 then xp/vista. I really enjoy helping out in the forums and on irc. I enjoy learning linux everyday even more. Linux never ceases to amaze me and thats just another check for Linux.

I wish i had more hobbies to list but outside of computers there isn't much more. I run two servers with ubuntu server edition and 1 server with promox and openvz. You can always find me in the forums or in irc. My motto is to break everything to learn it! Im always engaged in 'various projects' as i want to be well rounded in knowledge on different apps to help others.

stlsaint has shown the willingness to learn and put forth the effort required to become a great BT member. He has been very active in #ubuntu-beginners as well as #ubuntu-beginners-help. He has shown an eagerness to learn new things and to pass on that knowledge to others. Stlsaint is often inquiring about new and different things, eager to learn what he can. I have seen stlsaint show lots of initiative helping people in the support channel. duanedesign

Testimonials for Ubuntu Membership

stlsaint has been an extreme asset to not only the Ubuntu Beginners Team but also the UBT Wiki FG. He's consistently active in #ubuntu-beginners and is always patient with those whom he is trying to help. He is willing to learn from others and teach others what he knows (myself included!). His wiki skills are beyond awesome and he's a good friend as well. He's got my support for any endeavors that he attempts, and he has my full support for his application concerning Ubuntu Membership. Please look upon his application favorably. zkriesse

stlsaint is a great member of the UBT. He is always helping via IRC, and he is always available for all users. Since I know him he has always been a guy who respects the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. I full support for his application concerning Ubuntu Membership DiegoTc

Reading above I can see people referring to stlsaint's amazing technical support. I will not do that, instead I will highlight the more human aspects of his personality. He is extremely patient and seems to adopt peoples problems as his own. He shows remarkable skill in reassuring people and making them feel they have the most important technical dilemma in the world, a skill I wish I possessed. Stlsaint is also very friendly and a person that I am glad to have met in the community. Please support this stars application favorably. Silver Fox

IRC OPs

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. I have no hesitation in recommendeding stlsaint who was appointed as a lubuntu OP +votriA (OP) [modified 29 weeks, 6 days, 07:22:39 ago] for full core OP's adoption. phillw 7th Jan 2012
