Fitoria is one of the "geniuses" of the Ubuntu Nicaragua Team. He's a young leader that has a bright future. Taking in account his passion in promoting Ubuntu and all his hard work inside and outside his University, I support him becoming an official Ubuntu Member. leogg at ubuntu.com
Fitoria is always promoting FOSS, his dedication to the community is awesome. He is one of the betters programmers in the community and as leo says, he has a bright future in the FOSS world. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/norm
I have came across Fitoria in almost any FOSS activity that I have attended or helped. I think he is a good member "all-around", as he is coding for the local community, always available, supporting people, has a good ideas for improving the local FOSS community, good at designing and also has a good sense of humor. He is really raising the bar to which all of us have to be measured up as FOSS activist. Neville A. Cross
You will find Fitoria at every FOSS event; his dedication and will to promote Ubuntu and OpenSource makes him a very valuable member of our Community. Guillermo Belli
He's the man behind the courtain. A shy guy in the real world who is the brain of the projects that makes the community better. Nòmada
Fitoria is a great example of how a person can make its maximum effort for the development of the FOSS community. I've been his companion throughout his development in the community, first being a simple user, then move on to formal member of ubuntu-ni and eventually be part of the community council. he is a responsible person, worker and has as his priority support with his abilities to the future of our community.Byron Corrales
- Fitoria is a very active member of LUG (Linux User Group) here in this country, he has made conferences, activities related to FOSS, and also has been partipating in events like SFD, FLISOL, Linux Tour, and many others proving that he is good at it. We see him a lot in IRC ubuntu channels, and also helping and contributing in mailing list, also making contributions to the Local Community, designing, helping people resolving problems in hardware like printing, programming, wifi.
Not only you're helping by volunteering in activities, but also your coding ... i really admire your efforts in the community and i really hope you get to be an official Ubuntu member. You deserve it!!!! LaFieraMarina
He is the guy behind our coding projects, he did the registry system for SFD08, without him probably the event would have been a mess - Igor Guerrero - https://launchpad.net/~igorgue
Ubuntu-ni earns a very important element with Fitoria. In future he's a top piece in Ubuntu's community. And not only to Ubuntu, but also to all free and open source software community in Nicaragua. Arriba Fitoria! Joel Davila
