| = About Me = I've been an Ubuntu user since Warty where I took the jump after dual booting between Debian in Windows, and never looked back. I have been active in the Ubuntu community for over a year in every possible way my time and experience has allowed me. I live in Argentina and currently run a web development company oriented towards open source. |

| I have successfully founded and lead the Argentina LoCo team, with which we have accomplished a lot in translations (UWN's and Rosetta), support a large amount of spanish speaking users in Ubuntuforums and introduced many new users to Ubuntu.

| Moderating the Argentina sub-forum in Ubuntuforums [http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=189] Moderating the mailing list [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ar] I'm actively helping out in the MarketingTeam with php coding for the DIY webpage (and eventually spreadubuntu), getting the UWN out every week (well, almost) and generally trying to pitch in wherever needed. I also handle the Ubuntu Stickers distribution in Argentina which System76 provides, sending them all over the country and making sure big projects that use Ubuntu get the stickers and LiveCDs to distribute. Translating in Rosetta and some Wiki pages to spanish. The thing I probably enjoyed the most is introducing users to Ubuntu, mainly non-Linux users by installing it on their systems and walking them through the adaptation process until they get used to the new environment. I take notes on what problems users bump into and try to get the message through to developers via the forums or bug tracking. |
I started helping out in different places in the community almost immediately, started off in the Ubuntu Marketing team where I revived the defunct Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter and was the editor of it for a year and a half. I also founded the Argentina LoCo team, which has now turned into a vibrant local community thanks to many other people. Following that I worked on some related projects like Launchpad and Bazaar, and moved on to roles more related to leadership. Two years ago I joined the Regional Membership board for the Americas and served out my 2 year term and have recently been renewed. |

| = Currently Working On = Making the Argentina LoCo team grow as much and as healthy as possible, and eventually get it officially approved. Getting the MarketingTeam web sites ready to go live. Learning bazaar to help develop and implement it in various areas. Playing around with the latest "in production" Ubuntu (feisty at the moment) to help squash bugs before release and help users get through the upgrade process easier. |

History of me in Ubuntu
I got into Ubuntu through Debian. I had jumped from distro to distro for a while and fell in love with apt, making Debian my distro of choice. When Ubuntu 4.10 came out with the concept of "Debian, but for humans", I knew that was where I wanted to be so I jumped over on day 1.
