Testimonials for Membership Application

I have had contacts with João for quite a while. He is extremely active on the Portugual Ubuntu and FLOSS communities, and his work, there and elsewhere, is enough to qualify him. Now, add in his work with GetDeb, and his iteractions with users... Highly recommended. +1, no doubt. C de-Avillez
