Hi, I'm not on the sysadmin team, so I don't know if my opinion counts for anything, but I've worked with Ray in a professional capacity for some time now and can definitely vouch for him as a dedicated, enthusiastic, and optimistic quick learner. He's a vital member of the mono-a11y QA team, and has also been known to contribute patches and translations to various GNOME projects. He's a reliable dude who responds to any issues before I wake up the next morning.
If you don't know Ray, you should bring him on the team just so you can get to know him. :-P Also, he's funny as hell.
