Allan has been part of the Ubuntu Philippine Team for a long time now, His offline contribution is very well valued. Whenever a new release comes up, he enthusiastically organized the Team's Release party. which every six months the number of attendees seem to have significantly kept on growing! He's one of the key people whom we owe these successes to. He is also into User Experience, a field where he's passionately engage with Gnome and Mozilla. I believe these valued contributions is more than enough to warrant my support for his Ubuntu Membership application.

Allan stepped in and took the shoes of leading local activities of the Ubuntu Philippine Team when others could not. His involvement with the local community and being active in non-development fields in the project such as UX and design in open source have made himself a local emerging authority on the subject matter. The great thing about him is that he has a focus area of expertise that he wants to excel with, not just with Ubuntu but with other Open Source projects as well (Gnome, Android and Mozilla come into mind). I think his membership is way overdue already and I fully support this.
