My life with gnu/Linux

I have been using Gnu/Linux since 1995, from early Red Hat versions, jumping through Open Caldera Linux and Suse Linux, until I found Debian, which I have been using since 2.1 (Slink). I discovered Ubuntu very soon, at the 4.10 version, and began to play with it. Ubuntu has come to fulfill all what many of us have been awaiting for a long time: a Gnu/Linux OS that can be used for almost everybody without being a computer expert, providing most of the benefits and minimizing the disadvantages, allowing many non technical people to have their approach to Gnu/Linux.

Occupation

I work as a systems manager in a mid-sized transport company. I have managed to introduce the FOSS in our working habits, mainly in our datacenter, as well as in our non-linux desktop computers and networking devices. Also, I'm beggining to introduce some Ubuntu desktop computers in some key positions.

FOSS activities

I am involved with the Catalan LoCo Team from the begginings of 2007, not long after it was created, where I try to help in whatever has to be done:

  • Translating documentation from and to Catalan and English language
  • Trying to give advice to newbies at the forums, which I co-administer, mail list or at the irc channel.

  • I use to help at the events the LoCo regularly celebrates as Release Parties, Global Jams, or whatever we are involved in, mostly, but not only, at the Install Party area.

  • I've also set up and co-administer the Loco web page and Planet. I'm part of the "Wiki Housekeeping Team", to keep our wiki as organized and neat as possible.

  • I'm also part of the local GLUG Caliu (CAtalan GNU/LInux Users).

Testimonials

  • Josep is one of the most active members of the Catalan LoCo team, in which he has been since the beginnings. He not only posesses extraordinary technical skills, but combines them with a strong sense of community, good nature and an always present sense of humour. It's been always a pleasure to work with him and I'm really glad to see he's taken the step to apply for Ubuntu membership, which I believe he truly deserves. -- dpm 2009-10-14 06:44:51

  • SiscoGarcia Josep is probably the most active member of the Catalan LoCo Team. When I first met him, I was very surprised by his technical skills, but after a wile I felt in love with his great sense of humour, of community and of honor. He's always there when you need a help. He's given us a good definition of the meaning of ubuntu, and reading it you can realize he is a true ubuntaire (catalan). All my support for his Ubuntu Membership Application.

  • Enthusiastic, helpful, funny, it's not uncommon for Josep to spend countless hours working for the Greater Good ™, be it kicking off the LoCo's website, investigating problems of new (and experienced) Ubuntu users, helping organize release parties, making it impossible to have a serious IRC meeting... His application is long overdue. -- RainCT 2009-10-16 17:36:51
