About Me

My name is Elvira Martínez, I'm from Cali, Colombia but living at Honduras right now. I'm using Ubuntu since 04/2008 and I signed the code of conduct on 2008/10/01. I belong to the Ubuntu-hn team and I would like to make this community grow together. I rebooted Ubuntu Honduras community with my friend Fabián Rodríguez support who convinced me and made me believe that this was possible.
