About Me

Mainly im a simple person... nothing interesting about me but that i am a kubuntu advocate. Im 21 Yrs old, I've been arround with linux since 3 years ago (or so)... and using (K)Ubuntu since Breezy,,, and switched to Kubuntu since Dapper Drake... Since then... I've been a loyal Kubuntu User

Why Ubuntu

Because I love to share my knowledge, and also i like to learn new stuff, that's why i felt so identified with the ubuntu comunity, Just because of the people that uses it... the people that helps making it better, making it in the language of many... its just Great, thousands of people helping with the same goal, i cant' say other words about it... I even try to follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct in my day to day...

To me ubuntu its not only software, but a way to be. Ubuntu is a word that means Humanity to Others, and i sometimes think that this is what others need... Humanity...

I've been saying from quite a while, that the philosopy behind ubuntu its one of its greatest and strongest points... because OUR community its based on collaboration without any kind of interest.

Advocacy

This is a list of what i've done in Venezuela, related to the Ubuntu project

• Given talks at some places

  • [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VenezuelaTeam/GutsyParty Gutsy Parties / Fiestas Gutsy en Venezuela + Ubuntu-ve's Aniversary]

  • [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VenezuelaTeam/jornadajgh Jornada de Charlas UBUNTU UJGH]

• Taken part on the FLISOL 2007, where many people came to know about Ubuntu.(Which was our [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VenezuelaTeam/FeistyCitas FeistCita ]

• Helped the Ubuntu-ve Stand on the CNSL3 At caracas
• Many Small migration processes:
  • in the Company i Work, we picked up ubuntu for both, development and production stages, and we're using actually Kubuntu (dapper, gutsy and feisty) for the developers, and Ubuntu for the non tech pepople (Bosses, assistants, requirement analysts, Quality Asurance Analysts and some of the Marketing departament.
• Close to where i live, i've spoken and showed many of my neighborhoods about the benefits of using FOSS, teaching them how to use, and how to squeeze the juice out of Kubuntu for their daily work/tasks.
• Been proposing the idea to found a Tecnnology Laboratory in the comunity i live, not only to speak about software but electronics and so on. So far i've got the interest of some entities, meanwhile in the project, Ubuntu is involved as it is not only ""software libre"" but it is also a way of thinking (To me), and in some kind of form, its a way to show people that they shoulnt be affraid of using linux... it doesnt bites. I've proposed ubuntu to be the Operative System we should use, specially the Edubuntu branch, for the courses we have planned to be offered.

• I've always been pro-ubuntu, even in the games i play. you can take a look at Tibia Forums in [http://forum.tibia.com/forum/?action=thread&threadid=1934091 here] i've done two posts... the mos interesting is on the page #2. here is an extract:

  Well may be you havent had the chance to ever get close to a box running linux... do you know how does it looks?... i invite you, go to google and type:

  *- ubuntu beryl screenshot
  *- linux ubuntu gamming
  *- linux ubuntu live cd install
  *- linux ubuntu end user
  *- linux ubuntu desktop

  and any other stuff you would want to do on windows... (without even getting closer to having to know about programming)...

Goals

• Getting to be one of the Kubuntu Developers
• Being an (K)Ubuntu Member

• Spreading Kubuntu among HighSchools, including those which are not meant to be for "tech guys". People tends to think that linux its hard, but in fact, Ubuntu is making this only a past. And we have to break that wall, that says "Linux its for Techies..."

• Become a PostgreSQL developer (I know isnt related... but err... like EfrainValles says about me... ""santiago-ve you are a pgsql junkie""

• Get plphp inside the ubuntu repos

What i am Actually doing

• Being an Active member of the VenezuelaTeam, taking most activity in the IRC, and the forums.

• Being an PostgreSQL advocate, but found the way to mix it with ubuntu, i'm founding a PUG (PostgreSQl user group), and our code of conduct, its the Ubuntu's code of conduct modified.

• Starting my journey to become a KubuntuDeveloper
