Activity

• Teaching Network Administration, Linux, Programming & Computer Hardware to College Graduates/Post-Graduates.

• Taught Ubuntu in several elementary schools.
• Updated several commercial places to Ubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu.

Future

I plan to keep on propagating the use of Ubuntu among all that want to enjoy the benefits of Linux. For me, Ubuntu is an example of how the power of open source software can go beyond of what is expected, and show that open source software can reach many types of users and benefit them in so many ways all and in the many different levels, being this end users, the middle man, corporate or developers.
