I am a [[http://www.ceid.upatras.gr/|computer engineer]], [[http://www.cs.uoi.gr/|MSc]], [[http://www.ecedu.upatras.gr/|PhD candidate]],
appointed since 2000 as a secondary school teacher in Ioannina, Greece. I've been developing open source software for 2 decades, although I've only been involved with Linux for the last 4 years. Since meeting Ubuntu/LTSP I've been trying to spread it to Greek schools, and successfully helped migrating about [[http://goo.gl/maps/nOoQ|250 schools]] so far.
