About Me
ok here we go. still new to this but this is me. currently 41, married with 2 kids, one girl-9 years old, and one boy just under a year. my first computer was a commodore 64 my freshman year in high school which was 1984. basically a keyboard you plug into your tv and a tape recorder you used for memory really high tech at the time but a joke now. got an apple IIe my senior year in high school had to learn a bunch of basic code for that (real fun stuff). then nothing for a few years untill windows 3.1 and dos, then 95, then 98, never saw me or any of the others but then xp vista and 7. did a lot of work with windows mostly virus removals, tune ups and upgrades. no programming at all. just started learning linux and ubuntu. love it so far. and just started learning python thanks to the guidance of my master starcraft.man. I am currently using Ubuntu version 10.10 Maverick Meerkat which is freekin awesome compared to the windows versions i have used. My goal is to learn how to program, and to help people which is one of the reasons i love the Ubuntu community. I have recently joined the Speech control and Speech control development group. it looks to be alot of fun and i cant wait to continue learning and helping others.
My Involvement with the Ubuntu Community
I am still new to the ubuntu community but do enjoy working with the people i have met in the groups following:
Ubuntu Beginners
I am not actually a member here yet but am working with my master starcraft.man, who is teaching me alot. my closest goal probably is to become a full member here and help others to learn of the beautiful world that is Ubuntu.
Speech control and Speech control developers
I just became of member of the Speech control family and am very much looking forward to working with this group. It has always been a passion of mine to help others in need. I even worked as a CNA for a while.
California Team
This is actually the first team i became a member of. Originally it was just to get to know others who were using ubuntu. Then i found out about all these other groups. havent actually met any of the other users outside of the irc but i hope to someday. I also hope to start an Ubuntu hour in vallejo ca, where i live. If you live n the north bay and want to help feel free to email me.
Current Projects & Goals
I am currently learning python and am hungry to learn more if I can. I just started with speech control i cant wait to become productive with them.
im sorry phillw i liked this next section so much i had to borrow it. I hope you dont mind
Mentoring
Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
Jedi respect all life, in any form.
Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.
The entire article is here My padawans will be questioned on it as computer training and respect of others is a tenant of Ubuntu Beginners Team (UBT), hence us calling them padawans.

If you wish to describe any of my contributions to the Ubuntu Community, please feel free to do so below. Thank You.
I worked with Phill for some times now in the Lubuntu team. He is the main helper in the #lubuntu, always trying to answer and help people, never tired for searching a solution or a way to help. He done a fantastic job on the chan, I can't count the number of hours he spend on it, it's just huge. I strongly recommends him for the BeginnersTeam Membership. -- gilir
I've had the extreme pleasure of working with Phil for some time now. He's very good at what he does, and is always willing to help and share his knowledge with others. He's been very helpful to me in many areas especially with the BT Wiki FG among other things. His work with the Lubuntu Team has also been above and beyond awesome. He's always in #lubuntu ready to answer any questions concerning Lubuntu and is always available for a kind word. He's a great friend and an awesome contributor to the Ubuntu Community. He's got my full support for whatever he does, for BeginnersTeam Membership, and Ubuntu Membership as well. -- zkriesse Phill and I have worked together for more than a year on various teams, including several Ubuntu beginners sites and more recently as moderators on the Ubuntu forums. He has helped extensively on Grub 2 related matters, making the extra effort to ensure users become familiar with the boot loader. I have seen the great lengths to which he will go to help users on the Ubuntu forums, including researching problems for others when the answer isn't readily apparent or available. Phill exemplifies the caring spirit of Ubuntu and I strongly and enthusiastically support his membership. -- Dave Stan drs305 I've had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with Phill, as we are both contributors of the BeginnersTeam. He is certainly hard-working and committed on his helping of the team. I think he is a great addition to any team he may wish to join. Surely, Phill is an awesome contributor and person; definitely worthy of Ubuntu membership. -- pedro3005 BodhiZazen - I fully support Phill's application for Ubuntu membership. As you can see from this wiki page, Phill is very active in the community and I have interacted with Phill both in IRC and on the Ubuntu Forums. Phill is knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated to the Ubuntu community . Phill is a very kind person who is always trying to help people in any way he can. I have got to see this first hand both on IRC and on the Ubuntu Forums. He is a very knowledgeable person who goes out of his way to share this knowledge. He is a true star who deserves nothing but praise. Please support his application favorably. -- Silver Fox I've worked with Phill in the Documentation Team for a number of months now, where his contributions have centred around wiki editing and Lubuntu. He's very active, extremely keen to learn, and has bags of enthusiasm; it's been a pleasure to have him around. I can strongly recommend him for Ubuntu membership. -- Philbull Phill has been very helpful to the others in the Ubuntu community. He just provided the Ubuntu Youth team some web hosting space on his server so that the Ubuntu Youth team could host a forum. This is just one of the several kind acts he has done. As such, I fully support his Ubuntu Membership -- bilalakhtar forestpiskie I know Phill from both the forums and IRC - he's a very helpful and knowledgeable user - I wholeheartedly support his application for Ubuntu membership.
