My work with Open Source

Xubuntu

I've worked with Xubuntu since 2008, working as the Marketing Lead from September 2008 to April 2010. During the years, I've worked with the Xubuntu team a lot, also involving on the user support on #xubuntu as well as operating both #xubuntu and #xubuntu-devel. Through my work on the team and the Ubuntu community, I've become familiar with the standard Ubuntu processes and schedules.
