I'm an avionics technician and electronic engineering student. I started using linux in 2007, my first distribution was Kubuntu 6.06 and I have been a Kubuntu user since then.
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
IRC: m4v, on irc://irc.freenode.net
Launchpad: http://launchpad.net/~m4v
Why Ubuntu?
I don't believe Ubuntu is the "best" distro out there, neither the one with the best technical merits. But Ubuntu has a great community, where I feel comfortable working with, and is the distro with the vision I believe is right. For the same reason you can only have freedom of speech if there's a literate society, you can only push open source if the society can use it, and for that the Linux desktop has to be easy to use, and have a low entry barrier. Since that's Ubuntu's aim, I'm in.
Contributions
Most of my work is devoted to the Spanish support channels in freenode, I joined first #kubuntu-es and a couple of years later #ubuntu-es. Together with erUSUL I helped to get #ubuntu-es back to its feet, give some new life to our social channel #ubuntu-es-cafe (previously named #ubuntu-es-offtopic), recruit new operators and get an Spanish infobot. I have been active since 2008, and been responsible of the channels' health since 2010.
I work with the Ubuntu IRC Bots team, writing code, fixing bugs and whatever problem I can help with the bots in general. Most of my work goes to Stormyfacts, a factoid plugin for ubottu & clones that aims to improve factoid collaboration and localization.
I also help the Spanish Ubuntu classroom team, mostly with IRC organization, Classbot, and keeping an eye on the occasional troll that shows during events.
Long term goals
Build a team in #ubuntu-es that can keep up the good work without me, I'm studying engineering so I expect to have less time to spare in the future.
- Keep on improving our bots with uncalled-for features.
