I've been working with Marcos since the start of GUFW and he's all about Ubuntu - from helping create a simple to use firewall to users, to distributing and promoting it the Asturian region. He's definitely a candidate worthy of the Ubuntu Membership. vperetokin

Marcos is a creative, smart and friendly person. He likes to advocate for free software and collaborates actively to preserve and encourage the use of the Asturian language where he lives. He also participates in several ubuntu-related communities and is the creator of Gufw, an excellent frontend for Ubuntu's ufw. I therefore won't hesitate to support Marcos in his application for the Ubuntu Membership, he really deserves it. turl
