Summary of contributions to Ubuntu

I have been an Ubuntu user and contributor since Hoary. My main contributions have been in the localisation field within the UbuntuCatalanTranslators team, of which I am a translator and also currently lead. Being a GNOME translator has also allowed me to facilitate the interaction between the Ubuntu downstream and GNOME upstream translations.

Other

I am also an active Debian and Translation Project translator, and I have also contributed to OpenOffice translations in the past.

  • David has been one of the most dedicated and productive volunteers I've worked with over the years. He's lucky to have an incredible drive to accomplish whatever goal he sets, and whatever he does is done with excellence. His contributions to Catalan in Free Software range a large number of projects, and it's always been a pleasure to work with him in the teams we've met, including the Ubuntu Catalan Translations effort. -- JordiMallach
