Testimonials

Robbie is a fantastic manager and engineering lead who has not only a comprehensive understanding of Ubuntu, but also a solid understanding of our community processes and culture. Not only that but his brokering of relations between Ubuntu and Debian is another excellent contribution. +1 from me. JonoBacon

Robbie is a great team leader with a real passion for Ubuntu, and a driving force behind its development. +1. ScottJamesRemnant

Robbie is very friendly and helpful on IRC and it was great to meet him in Ireland and chat face to face, he listens to comments on Ubuntu and explains the reasons for the changes. +1 Czajkowski

Robbie is a great manager and team leader, and a real help in my work for Ubuntu. He is passionate about Ubuntu, and through tasks such as running a track at UDS helps to shape the development of it. JamesWestby

Robbie is always quick to explain any issue and help out the community when and where he can. He helps perpetuate the view that the Canonical folks are community and team players. Always ready to listen to suggestions and never makes the "mortal NTEU" (non technical end user) feel silly for suggesting changes. Robbie's upbeat attitude and enthusiasm for the Ubuntu Project comes across in person as well as IRC. +1 for membership. -- akgraner 2009-12-07 23:11:19
