Collaborations and people

I worked on common projects with Matthew Nuzum and colleagues from #ubuntu-website@freenode, Adi Roiban and Jani Monoses are other two people I closely collaborate with. Working with all these guys was a pleasure.

Testimonials

AdiRoiban : In the last 4 years Stas was one of the most active members of the Ubuntu Romanian team taking good care of our servers, web services and teams public image and relations. He dedicated endless hours to make sure our server, forum and webpage are working and can be used by our community. He is an active community member and without his work, today we would not have such an active community. I would like to thanks Stas for all his hard for done for the Romanian and Moldavian Ubuntu Teams. Cheers!

JaniMonoses: Stas is among the few very active and enthusiastic Ubuntu promoters in Romania. He focuses on community and web development related tasks and does a good job.
