My first contact with the GNU/Linux world was on April 2001 when a copy of Red Hat 6.2 came to my hands (I was 16 years old) but I didn't could enjoy it because don't have an internet connection. Then Fedora comes but when I discovered Ubuntu, something change in my mind and I never replace it. Today, I use Ubuntu at home with my girlfriend, and she loves it!

(es) Acerca de mí

• Soy miembro de la comunidad local de Ubuntu en Argentina desde el 27 de Abril de 2006. El 17 de Abril de 2007 firmé lectrónicamente el código de conducta de Ubuntu para estar completamente comprometido con esta comunidad.
• Utilizo Ubuntu desde Febrero de 2006 en su versión 5.10 Breezy. Mi primer contacto con el mundo de GNU/Linux fue en Abril de 2001 cuando una copia del Red Hat 6.2 cayó en mis manos (tenía 16 años) pero no pude disfrutarlo porque no tenía una conexión a internet en mi casa. Luego vino Fedora pero cuando descubrí Ubuntu, algo cambió en mi cabeza y nunca lo reemplacé. Así es el día de hoy que lo uso en mi casa con mi novia, ¡y a ella le encanta!
• Decidí ser un miembro activo en esta comunidad debido a la maravillosa gente que puedes encontrarte y su gran filosofía.
• Soy técnico electrónico egresado del Otto Krause y actualmente estoy estudiando ingeniería en electrónica, pero nunca trabajé en cosas de electrónica, siempre trabajé en empresas de informática como administrador de redes o servidores.

• Soy hincha fanático absoluto del Club Atlético Estudiantes de la Plata

A complete open and free weekend with an Ubuntu stall, conferences and an installation room to help users who want to use Ubuntu in their PCs/notebooks, solving from complete installations to issues with video, audio, network configurations and graphics desktops tuning. Due to limitations on the Internet link of the radio, I took a repository server updated one day before, with all the ISO images for the 8.04 and 8.10 Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, to burn CDs, download and update packages for the people (with the collaboration of Marco Antonio de Hoyos).
