History

Been involved with Open Source since 2000, and more especifically with the Brazilian community since May 2005. Started as a translator for the Brazilian Team and recently approved in Team on 28th in September.

I met [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OgMaciel Og] and he calls me to know how to help in translations, since I get my free time to do this, I´m in [https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+topcontributors Top Contributors].

Working on

• Helping [http://wiki.ubuntubrasil.org/GutsyPacotes GutsyPacotes] - a reference to the remaining packages to translate until the Gutsy Release

What next?

• Completely finish the translation effort to pt_BR by the end of 2007, and waiting next release to work.
• Involve more people in the translation process, and help the novice´s user.
• Involve more people in the review translation process, and explain how to do the correct things.
• Get more involved with the Rosetta team, so as to provide important feedback and help Rosetta become more userfriendly, specially for people performing administrative tasks within their groups!
