Application for Ubuntu Membership

[Quackers]

Greetings, fellow Ubuntuers!

I would like to apply for Ubuntu Membership please
I can report that I have successfully negotiated (I think) the assault course that is the wiki page creation and the signing of the CoC

Here is my wiki page
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/quackers

and here is my Launchpad page
https://launchpad.net/~quackers

May all applicants be successful!

[Rasa1111]

Good luck man!
You've got my support for sure, whatever that means to ya. lol :P
It would be well deserved.
Thanks for all your help around here. <3 :)

[Rubi1200]

Quackers, I think you definitely deserve membership. In the time I have known you on the forums I have watched you become more and more involved in all aspects of the community.

You provide helpful and useful support; make contributions to testing, and have always been willing to jump in and help when asked to.

Good luck!

Quackers, if you need ideas for your wiki page, you can browse some that have been posted here. Once you are done with the wiki and CoC, please bump this thread and I'll be happy to confirm my +1.

I'll add that Quackers also uses the reporting system to help us keep the forums clean and friendly :)

[Quackers]

Thank you all :-)

bapoumba,
it's not what goes into the wiki page, it's the formatting I'm struggling with :-) Never done anything like it, so far. I'll be investigating tonight :-)

I remember that well - this might help (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide) it has a formatting page - didn't help me much tbh - copying someone else's did though :p

That said assuming you get it done I'll be happy to +1 your application once it's done.

Good luck.

Wiki editing can be a little strange at first, but is is easy when you have the adequate cheat pages :)

[Rasa1111]

Lol! easy?

Ohh man, Ive also been planning to apply for it one day , a ways down the road.. (maybe in another year or two)
but by the looks of these links.. that'll never happen. lol

it's almost as if they said.. "alright, if they can't figure this out, they don't need an Ubuntu membership!"

Kinda like a "secret determining factor" ... haha

:lol:
:P

[Quackers]

I know what you mean :-)

Right I think my wiki page is a little more presentable now - I hope!

Thanks for all your suggestions! Any more?

[Rasa1111]

haha. O_o

Looking good man!
Looks like you'll have the hang of it in no time.

Yeah, i have a suggestion...
Get good at it, So I can come to you in a year or two for help! :lol: lol

[wilee-nilee]

Your help on the forum is invaluable, and the kind ways you interact with everybody is noticeable...best of luck you deserve this membership.

[coffeecat]

It's a pleasure to support Quackers' application. Many forum members who have started support threads have reason to be grateful for his helpful, patient and accurate advice. There are many partition tables or grub configurations that owe their current healthy state to him. :)

Good luck, my feathered friend! :p

[oldfred]

+1 fro me.

I have seen many users helped by Quackers, plus he has a little fun while doing it.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy :wink:

Thanks too to Rasa1111, Rubi1200, bapoumba, forestpiskie, wilee-nilee & last, but not necessarily least :wink: coffeecat (who wants to eat me and my kinfolk with an orange sauce!) :-)

[lkjoel]

+1 Good luck!:)

[RafaelG]

+1 and good luck!:smile:

[garvinrick4]

I believe Quackers takes the helping of all Ubuntu users in the Forums very serious and does
his best to make sure all get the best help when he is involved. He is an involved Ubuntu user
and enjoys these Forums and would be very dedicated in his Ubuntu Membership. Dedication and enthusiasm
are quality's that make for excellent team players, make him part of the team he will give 100%.

[Quackers]

Thanks lkjoel, RafaelG and thanks too to garvinrick4 for those very kind words.

[Hedgehog1]

I would like to wholeheartedly support Quackers application for Ubuntu membership.

Quackers has that enviable combination of technical know-how and a friendly manner that makes him such a valued 'core support member' on the Ubuntu forums.

Not only does he regularly rescue new users, he has on several occasions pulled me out of the deep end when I was helping others and found myself in deeper water that I could handle. Granted, Ducks float better than Hedgehogs, but I am very grateful non-the-less.

Quackers also avoids getting dragged into arguments or silly conflicts that may occur in the forums from time to time. He is a voice of reason and lets things like that just roll off him like <groan> "water from a duck's back".

[wojox]

+1 from me as well Quackers. My little girl and I always feed to ducks. :P

[Quackers]

Thanks Mr Hedge for your very kind comments and thanks to wojox too (and his little girl :wink: )

[sikander3786]

Best of luck Quackers. You have always been around in all sections of the forums as Rubi1200 already said. And personally, you have helped me on more than a few occasions. And with your expertise and contributions, all I can say is that you deserve the membership.

You have been an asset to the Ubuntu Community. I hope to see the Ubuntu Member banner soon under the 'Please feed the ducks' section :-D

+1 and Good Luck.

[spynappels]

+1 for Quackers. His posts are always patient and good-natured, and he really knows his stuff. He'd be a good addition to the team.

[Quackers]

Thanks sikander 3786 and spynappels (nice name :-) )

[spynappels]

spynappels (nice name :-) )

Gotta thank my parents for that one, they called me Stefan and my surname is Pynappels!

[Quackers]

Tremendous! :-)
My last name isn't Duck though - but it is Donald :-)

[williejones]

Good luck Quackers. You are a big contributor to the forums with your knowledge and humour. You have helped a lot of people. I always enjoy reading your post. See you in Oneiric.

[Quackers]

Thank you for your very kind comments williejones :-)

[bapoumba]

I see I have not confirmed my +1. So here it is :)

[cariboo]

I also haven't added my support yet, It's good to see you are applying for Ubuntu membership, and I support you fully in this application.

[howefield]

Good luck Quackers although I'm sure you won't need it.

Plus 1 from me :)

[Quackers]

Many thanks bapoumba, cariboo907 and howefield :-)

[drs305]

I've worked with Quackers regularly over the past year on a number of issues - he is always extremely helpful and a great asset to the Ubuntu community. I thought I'd already +1'd but I it looks like not. So here it is: +1
