Testimonials

• Diego has been instrumental in relaunching the Honduras team. He is very visible in the IRC channel, has helped organize many local events, yet manages to remain active as a member on the mailing list, wiki pages and Launchpad. He also keeps track of all activity, documenting and sharing problems or success in his blog. As a team lead he is a big asset to Ubuntu in Honduras. -- MagicFab

• I'm a member of Colombian LoCo but not the Honduras one, I hang out at Honduras team IRC channel and Diego is one of the most active persons there, some people of our LoCo (including myself) have been at IRC events lead among others by Diego who kindly reach us with invitations, personally I see Diego as a strategic member not just for Honduras team but Centro America region. -- Andphe

• I've been working with Diego since the team of Ubuntu Honduras reborned. Personally I have only positive comments about him because, besides being one of those most involved and generator of new ideas for the team, he is an excellent human being. Diego took on the role of team leader because he deserves it for being a person with initiative and tenacity on behalf of team thinking. -- Tatica1

• I first met Diego in the organization for the Ubuntu Tour Honduras at San Pedro Sula, he is a great entrepreneur for Ubuntu related events and, since, has become the central piece on the organization of the Honduras Team. He is developing his skill to become a leader on the local community and would be great to see him develop on international level, I will not be surprised if the later happens. -- alfaDaemon

• I think Diego will be a great Ubuntu member as he always helps in the integration of Spanish speaking people into the community, He's also open to help you have a problem or if you need an opinion on a project you are developing for the community. I really have high hopes for him and his work in the future. -- Pablo Rubianes
