About me
My name is Antonio Sánchez, I'm a Computer Science Engineer (BSc speciality in Management) and also Marketing BSc student from Spain.
I work for Isotrol (Canonical's Gold Partner) as IT Technical Manager of the Advanced Centre for ICT Schools Management fighting with the largest educational network (400.000+ desktops and 3.500+ servers) running Ubuntu derivative (GuadalinexEdu) and Debian at the server side.
I'm responsible of the validation process of desktops, laptops, netbooks, servers, printers, scanners, cameras, interactive boards, etc. with Ubuntu of all the equipment that are going to be use at schools. I work closser with manufacturers (Toshiba, Intel, HP, Acer, Samsung, etc.) to get better Ubuntu support in their devices.
I manage the high level technical requirements and the tasks planning for the development of every Guadalinex Edu release for our customer and help our developers team in promotion and documentation staff. Guadalinex Edu release cycle is the same than Ubuntu but in schools we deploy X.04 versions during summer holidays due to school year schedule.
