I go by Scott and don't use the leading J in day to day conversation. I'm a 48 year old computer enthusiast. Being raised in a military family and living all around the world taught me a few things; be disciplined, be ready for things to change rapidly, remain calm and don't worry so much. Well, after spending a decade trying MSFT and several flavors of *NIX, someone handed me an Ubuntu disk. This was sometime in '06. The installation was the easiest I had ever been through. Then I started finding out how much support and documentation was available. I haven't looked back. Since then I've tried Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and Xubuntu. Right now I run Ubuntu on my laptop, and switch to Kubuntu on the desktop when the mood suits me or if I need to try to track down a bug in Kubuntu. The Ubuntu mindset seems to be flexible, fast moving, and above all friendly and helpful. It's a great thing to be a part of. I'm proud to be part of the Hottest Lo``Co on Earth: the Arizona Lo``Co Team. The AZ Lo``Co has some great leaders in John Crawford (johnc4510) and Craig Eddy (tyche). There are other members that exhibit the spirit that Ubuntu stands for like Kenny Mc``Henry (kennymc0) and Shane Lofgren (slofgren). I can't name all the members that have helped me in this Lo``Co and in the Ubuntu Community at large. This spirit of givinig has prompted me to give back in any way I can, so here I am. My name is Todd and I have been using Ubuntu for 3 years. I have been interested in computers for 35 years and after learning about Ubuntu, I made the switch. I am a member of the AZ Lo'Co' Team and a member of 9.10 bug team. We usually have an install-fest every month at UAT. I am currently negotiating with the city of Tempe to bring additional install-fests and resources to the team.

     "Scott has been a friend of mine for many years. He is very intelligent, naturally inquisitive and a social butterfly (a people person, if you like). This makes him a great fit for the community. After a couple years as a user, exploring the *buntus and getting to know the system on his computers, he's refocusing his energy on benefiting the community and operating system he loves best. Watch out, bugs, your days are numbered."
