Testimonials

nizarus : zaafouri, is an active member in our Tunisian LoCo team and a member of the LoCo management committee. He is always present in many of our events despite of his lot of workload. He try to show Tunisian students that we can work on FOSS an make money. He don't hesitate to support financially the activities of the loco. I believe that he will make a good ubuntu member.

I appreciate a lot what he is doing within ubuntu-tn LoCo Team like : giving talks/presentations, looking and getting invitations from Tunisian universities to promote ubuntu, helping newbies on the mailing list and on the irc channel #ubuntu-tn ...
