About me

I am based off Montreal, QC, Canada.

I am mostly interested in advocacy/marketing, local support & training and new users introduction / migration to Gnu/Linux. I currently work full-time as an Open Source software solutions consultant, focusing on security and migration issues.

Plans & vision for Ubuntu

I see Ubuntu becoming an essential tool to make Gnu/Linux more accessible to everyone, starting with my parents Smile :) I feel it's a community that is open enough to let anyone participate to the extent of their abilities and availability.

As part of my professional but also personal activities, I plan on focusing on the following:

  • Keeping the Ubuntu community open and friendly, following the code of conduct

  • Becoming a local liaison for local support & advocacy in Quebec province, but also in the rest of Canada and the Colombian community (I originally grew up there)

  • Contributing and teaching other how to contribute through in tasks that will make the MOTU's work easier
