== About me ==
I am an [[http://www.dit.hua.gr/index.php?lang=en|Information Technology]] student and Ubuntu, GNOME and Openoffice contributor since 2008 when I did my [[http://git.gnome.org/browse/brasero/commit/?id=1226fba61e9246a336c7bf8a02b72b3662a1fb37|first translation to Greek (Brasero)]]. Since 2009 I've been developing FOSS software and helping other Ubuntu Greek LoCo members. Lately I am helping Greek schools to use and have a better experience with Ubuntu.
