About Me

I've been an Ubuntu user since Warty where I took the jump after dual booting between Debian and Windows for a while, and never looked back (never needed to either). 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.

Accomplishments

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. The Argentina LoCo is probably what takes up most of my time.

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 UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter, 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.

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.
