Testimonials

Simos is actively contributing in the Greek Ubuntu and GNOME team for many years. He has been helping many Ubuntu users with his answers and making good work with promoting Ubuntu and GNOME. --Fotis Tsamis

I would say Simos is our team's rock star Smile :) He has been helping out with the Greek LoCo since I can remember, doing i18n, l10n bug triage for Ubuntu+GNOME, translations, user support in mailing list and forum, participating in i18n-l10n workshops and presentations in conferences in Greece and abroad and the list goes on.. Another great skill of his is to spot worrying team member behaviors and resolving them early, before the become a bigger problem. --Thanos Lefteris
