My plans for the future

• Work with the Ubuntu Spanish Translator Team.

• Work with the Ubuntu Training Community to develop courses for the users.

• Work with the Central and Latin American LoCo Teams and help the smallest groups to grow.

• Encourage the CC-Members of Ubuntu-ni LoCo Team to become Ubuntu members. This will make them (the cc-members) work more and help the Ubuntu community to continue growing

• Introduce Ubuntu Linux in my work and make all the students (+1000) learn Ubuntu.

Cheers from the community
