For the last 7 years I've been participating and organizing events of the Portuguese LoCo team. In the first few years I was merely an advocate but my participation has grown larger and now I'm one of the most active community members in the Portuguese team. I'm responsible for most of the content of our website and have been actively involved in the organization of a few events such as release parties and global jams. I have also participated in events of other communities speaking about Ubuntu and FLOSS.

I'm a member of the Portuguese Translators team since 2006.
