About Me
I am from Montevideo Uruguay, I'm an astronomer working at the Observatorio Astronomico Los Molinos and teach in Facultad de Ciencias (Universidad de la Republica). I joined the uruguayan Ubuntu community back in 2008. I started the Linux experience with Debian Sarge and then rapidly migrated to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake (LTS). I stick with Ubuntu ever since but i also tried Debian Etch in the middle. Since Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron I stayed with Ubuntu as my only OS in my notebook for work and personal use. My girlfriend also uses Ubuntu in a secretary-oriented job, and my 5 year old kid uses ubuntu for playing and drawing. For this reason I have a very wide feedback of Ubuntu as a complete Operating System.
My Goals
To learn more about Linux and Ubuntu distribution and help other people who wish to migrate to the opensource world, by using Ubuntu or Linux in general. As as personal perspective, i think that the basic tools to learn and interact with our world, should be free and open to everybody the same way the science and knowledge actually is. Those tools should be for everybody and no licenses should be payed. The scientific community is using the Linux OS world wide and Ubuntu in my opinion is THE operating system for the scientist and researcher, and i feel myself with the moral duty of testing applications, giving feedback and ideas to improve Ubuntu.
Collaboration & Activities
I own a blog strongly ubuntu-oriented. In it i've been posting several guides to tweak, install and improve Ubuntu. It also contains astronomy and science-oriented material mostly viewed by my university alumni and mates. The aim ofthis blog is to spread Ubuntu and be a guide in astronomy-oriented applications and discussions. That's why it is called "El Asterismo" or in english, "Asterism". An asterism is a group of stars that is not considered officially as a constellation, that gives amateur observers a useful guide in the night sky.
