| {*} [http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/ Website] | Craig A. Eddy (tyche): Steve is one of those strong people that tackles the tough jobs, and manages to get them done with no fanfare. He is helpful and considerate of others, gentle when he can be and tough when he has to be. I feel that he would be an exceptional addition to the IRC council, and would contribute from his knowledge and experience both from within the Ubuntu community and the freenode.net community. |

| {*} [http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/ Forums] | J. Scott Gwin (scott_ev): Steve has not failed to help me yet. I have needed his help and advice several times starting with getting my IRC Nic registered. He has been knowledgeable and willing to help every time I've asked. His patience is second to none and his willingness to help cannot be refuted. |
| Line 44: | Line 57: |
| === Advocacy === | Steve A Peterson (azteech): Steve is one of those brave souls with the patience of Jobe. When the Arizona Team was struggling to get started, Steve stepped up to the plate to ensure we began on the right foot. He has always been there for the community, our team (and others) and fellow users. I have yet to see him fail to reach out to help someone in need. He is an extremely knowledgeable and capable individual. His patience is second to none and his willingness to help is top notch. |

| {*} Coordinated a bunch of kewl stuff for ubuntu at the Ohio Linux Fest. (LINK) | Jesse Trucks (jtrucks): I know Steve through his work as a fellow volunteer on freenode staff. He knows both the spirit and letter of the rules governing polite and open use of IRC services, and he has shown a great deal of patience in the way he helps others. I think he approaches his work with Ubuntu with passion and excitement, as well. I think he would do a great job in combining his love of Ubuntu and work in the Ubuntu community with his excellent work helping run the freenode IRC network. Therefore, I think he would likely do well on the IRC Council. |
| Line 48: | Line 61: |
| {*} Gave a stellar presentation at the OLF | JohnCrawford(aka johnc4510): Vorian would make a great addition to the IRC Council in my opinion. He not only has a great working knowledge of IRC and its commands, but he knows how to lead and govern in a fair and respectful manner. His work on the IRC freenode staff reflects this ability and gives added weight to his application for IRC Council member. He is also always ready to help anyone who asks. He leads by example and has always shown a passion for the community that encourages everyone around him. Steve is someone who is very well known in the Ubuntu Community, and is respected for his work. I endorse his nomination and know that he would make an outstanding IRC Council member. |

ScottKitterman (ScottK): I know Steve mostly through our common work on Kubuntu and MOTU. When I was trying to get a channel setup for Kubuntu Netbook (#kubuntu-netbook), Steve was a huge help. He is my go to person for IRC issues and he's handled everything I've ask correctly, quickly, and calmly. I think he'd be great for IRC Council. |
