What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.

Jean hosted me on short notice. Then, he helped me find a new host during a very badly timed CS outage. Very helpful. I wish I could've gotten to know him better. Bonne chance a Montreal... surtout l'hiver.

Jean was able to host us last minute! Because of a miscommunication with our host, we were desperately in need of a place to stay, and luckily, he came to our recue. It was a pleasant stay, but it was short, and we would have liked to get to know him more. Jean, you are always welcome in Calgary!

Jean is kind and quiet, but he knows how to party too! He was one of the first people that I met in my first CS meeting in the Politrburo bar in Paris (May 2006). He doesn't speak much, but each time that he does, he has a good reason, something interesting to say! Ah, and he's a very good driver! When's the next trip? No doubt that I'll choose the seat next to you again! ;) In general, he rules!

Jean is very shy, but interesting and I feel his interest in getting to know people and helping them is heartfelt. My boyfriend Keith and I had a good time talking with him!

Jean is really quiet and maybe the first personn I met, patient enough to drive with me in the car when I absolutely don't want to sleep or stay quiet... Thanks for that ;-)

From meeting to meeting, really great pleasure to talk and hang out with Jean. I've found my Parisian Jazz partenaire!
Updated: I'm very glad too to work with Jean organising the CS event: “Treasure hunting", Orienteering course by bike in Paris. Jean brings his wise advise, shows his talent negociating with bike association in Paris! Jean rocks!
