I'm a person involved in spreading Free Software, I hold conferences and do courses and private lessons about Free Software and anything related to Internet.

I've created the local group Inhabitants of Caldes for Free Software (Calderins pel programari lliure) which aims to be a tool to disseminate Free Software in general, and more particularly Ubuntu. We have two recurring activities:

  1. Free Software breakfasts

  2. Presentation of the latest Ubuntu release and Install Party. We have repeated this activity in different cities, like Cardedeu.

We want to spread the use of Ubuntu at the government.

I'm also a photography fanatic. You can see some images I've taken here.
