About me

I was born in 1973, living in Maceió, AL, Brazil since I was 3 years old. I got into computers stuff when i was about 16 and I'm still working with computer until now.. I was a Windows user since the beginning but now I am enjoying Ubuntu a lot, so I removed all Windows stuff from my computer and from my desk too, as well as my Microsoft certificates from the wall. I am discovering the real world of open-source and I am pretty amazed with Ubuntu. Nowadays I am using only Ubuntu and try to help the community in every way i can.
I live in Maceió, AL, Brazil. I speak Portuguese and English. I felt in love with Ubuntu since first boot.
I have been involved with Open Source and with the Brazilian community since May 2005 using my free time to code APTonCD and translating packages together with AndreGondim for Ubuntu and helping new Ubuntu users in IRC chat as well.

Why Ubuntu?
I chose Ubuntu as my main Linux distribution, although to possess technician knowledge on basic operational system, I sufficiently identified myself with the idea to promote easiness and interoperability in a simple and efficient form. Also the community had a strong importance in my decision, and without a doubt is opened the critical ones, suggestions and, of course, contributions. It was very difficult to get comfortable to use other distributions and to get rid of window's chains, but Ubuntu provided a more pleasant, safe and satisfactory change, to me.
Working on
APTonCD
I started coding [https://launchpad.net/aptoncd APTonCD] invited by RafaelProenca and OgMaciel, I spent a lot of nights coding the most part of it, now the application is doing what we'd foreseen and there's a lot of improvements on the way...
IUG - Instalador do Ubuntu Games
- Making a new interface and moving old code to python. We think the interface will make have a better experience on the install process of games.
Translation
Helping [http://wiki.ubuntubrasil.org/TimeDeTraducao/HardyPacotes HardyPacotes] - a reference to the remaining packages to translate until the Hardy Hearon Release
What next?
- Always implement new features to APTonCD making the tool even more strong and easy to use.
- Help to administer and translate more packages to make Ubuntu more friendly to Brazilian users.
- Involve more people in the translation process, and help the novice´s user.
Well that's all for now..
