Testimonials

Having worked alongside Georgi on a number of open-source projects and endeavours I can only admire the enthusiasm and sheer effort that he puts into his work. His determination to help embetter numerous projects is admirable and is a great asset for any team. ~snwh (Launchpad)

A person who is very enthusiatic about design and perfection. He helped me with the redesign of NSTrain. Enjoyed working with him on that project. I have personally also seen him assist various other community projects like Kazam with new designs. ~nik90 (Launchpad)

Even though I've not worked on a project with me4oslav, apart from translating Unity Tweak Tool, I know he is a hugely skilled guy. He is one of the most competent designers whose work I'm aware of, and I know Georgi and his skill will be a great asset to any team. ~tomslominski (Launchpad)
