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 inconvenients, 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).
