Ubuntu Wiki

Hi! My name is Fernando Pereira, also known as BUGabundo (when online) and I'm an FOSS & Ubuntu advocate.

Contact information

Thanks to mdanielski whose template I reused and adapted.

About me

• I'm a 28 year old SysAdmin with a keen interest in networking, voip, and gadgets. I also enjoy Social Networking and µblogging. I've been using GN/Linux since 1994 and Ubuntu full time since September 2006.

Contributions to F/LOSS

• I'm an active member of the Portuguese LoCoTeam (on IRC, ML, website, events);

• I'm the founder of my University FOSS students group [ http://www.dei.isep.ipp.pt/linuxnodei ];

• I'm a F/LOSS Advocate, I promote the use of tools like Firefox, OpenOffice.org and GNU/Linux distros like Ubuntu;

• I tend to be the middle ground between Devel World and User land, by keeping up on news from one side and passing them along to the other;
• I'm an Alpha Tester by nature, so I will test, try, and fill Bugs on pretty much anything that can be run on my HW;
• I give a Class on FLOSS to my University students and Public in general, letting them experience how to install Ubuntu, learn the GNU Philosophy, and a broad contact with the applications available and how to use them, a partnership from my LUG group and University;
• Active member on Laconica project (Trac admin), as with many other µblogging projects

Future Goals

• Become a Ubuntu Member;
• Finally get my 101 LPI;

Testimonials for Membership Application

I believe Fernando's karma would be enough to justify his role as an Ubuntu member. But he is not only a bug master, he's also a constant presence and help in several forums, particularly the Portuguese ones. Fernando is someone that represents the best of Ubuntu. - JoaoNeves jneves

I've known Fernando since he first dropped by our PortoLinux user group meetings. He's an ineffable GNU/Linux and Free Software evangelist, and he lends great energy to the GNU/Linux movement by continuously organizing events and by actively participating in both the local and global Ubuntu community. - Pedro Ângelo ~pangelo

I have had many iteractions with BUGabundo, in many different Ubuntu areas. He restlessly pursues a better Ubuntu experience, and is always willing to help. He is certainly a good option for Ubuntu membership. -- C de-Avillez ~hggdh2

BUGabundo is very active in #ubuntu+1 and helps there with answers and advice. He is friendly and enthusiastic ~mvo

Fernando is an active member in the Ubuntu community. He has made significant contributions to bug triage, notably when investigating difficult issues. He is also a regular contributor to the Ubuntu IRC channels and mailing lists. - ~hew
