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.

Testimonials
David is doing extraordinarily good work both as the coordinator of Ubuntu's Catalan Translators Team and upstream, and I consider him one of the main persons thanks to whom I can enjoy high quality translations of my desktop. Keep up the good work! -- RainCT 2009-04-09 21:54:00
