I'm a 20 year old brazilian guy, live in Belo Horizonte and studying computer science. I'm a lover of free software.
I began to use GNU/Linux in 2001, using Conectiva Linux. I tried Debian untill abril 2005.
'''In october 2004''', I tried Ubuntu with '''Ubuntu 4.10 ( Warty Warthog)'''. All the hardware was recognized during install, what makes me fell so happy!

Ubuntu isn't just an efficient and high quality system, is a system that has a philosophy, what turns it so much atractive. In my perspective, Ubuntu is not only an efficient operating system of

a way of life!

About me

I'm a 20-years-old Computer Science student from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I consider myself a supporter of the open source community/movement, a feeling that was extremelly augmented when I first started using GNU/Linux in 2001. My first distro was Conectiva Linux (now known as Mandriva), later replaced by Debian which I used until october of 2004. I was very satisfied with Debian but somehow I felt that there was something else missing. That's when I first tried Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog), a true love at first sight!

A simple vision of the Ubuntu Project

In my perspective, Ubuntu is not only an efficient operating system of high quality! It is, above all, a system that has a philosophy! It is a way of life!

My goals

My goals include the ambitious plan to translate the entire operating system and all available packages to pt_BR, something that I have been involved for some time now. It is my belief that one should have the ability to use an operating system that completely supports one's native language! Now, that is freedom! I also want to continue doing bug triage, support, and hopefully do some packaging in the near future.
