He is extremely active on the Portugal Ubuntu and FLOSS communities, and his work, there and elsewhere, is enough to qualify him. Now, add in his work with [[http://www.getdeb.net|GetDeb]], and his interactions with users... Highly recommended. +1, no doubt. [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/hggdh2|C de-Avillez]] ---- GetDeb.net is only a small fraction of the many things João does within the Ubuntu Community. He is _very_ active on the IRC channel and Mailing list for the PT LocoTeam, and one of the most helpful people I've seen. João represents what I believe to be the true spirit of community, so a very confident +1 from me. [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gouki|Tiago Faria]] ---- João Pinto has been doing a great job with the Portuguese LoCoTeam, using his professional knowledge to help in any tough situation. He's all a great guy, who deserves to join the ret of the gang of Ubuntu Members [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BUGabundo|BUGabundo]] ---- He is a very active member in the Portuguese Ubuntu community. Always very helpful to others. It's the kind of members any community needs. [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/rramalho|Ricardo Ramalho]]
