About Me

I am Manu, also known as Makova. I was born in Barcelona but when I was 16 I moved to Granada, a beautiful city in Andalusia, Spain. From my first contact with Ubuntu in its 10.04 version, I am mostly self-trained as a developer and system administrator, although I have also taken some formal courses in open source technologies, from HTML5 to ArduinoI'm currently at the free software office of the University of Granada, where I have been involved with an initiative that refurbishes computing equipment, including the installation of lightweight Ubuntu distros, to donate it to NGOs and non-for-profit associations, which includes a short course on how to use Linux, in many cases the first contact they have with free operating systems. I have also been teaching free applications and introducing programming to kids, where I also prepared custom Ubuntu image that is used by all teachers. I also contribute to the Free Software Foundation and have been secretary of the local GNU/Linux association GCubo and association OpenXXI.

Contributions

I have been collaborating in the forum Ubuntu since 2010 forum Ubuntu and simultaneously contributing what I received from the Free Software community. Flisol 2011 Madrid talk about the new Unity Ubuntu.

Developer and manager of Ubuntu-guia; actually working on update to 16.04.

I have created a blog to show how to install, configure and debug Debian and Ubuntu and support users through comments in the blog. In my role as customer support technician at the Univerisity of Granada, I install Ubuntu almost exclusively to users that request it, including the refurbished computers we donate and computer used at the Political Science and Sociology College of the University of Granada.

I have been a staunch supporter of software freedom and promoted its use from the operating system up, and Ubuntu has always been my distro of choice. Even if I cannot prove every single event with pictures, people in the University and the Free Software Office can vouch for me if needed ccpolsoc.

Created two webapps for Ubuntu Touch

Translated uNav into Catalan
