About me

attachment:laudeci.jpg

  • 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.

Involvement

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

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

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..

Testimonials

Pretto is indeed a very active member of the translation team. He had been a gret job in translations. Wink ;) [http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AndreGondim AndreGondim]

I fully second Laudeci's request for membership. He helps a lot users on IRC channel, and he is one of main developers of AptOnCD, a great Ubuntu tool. Also, as already mentioned, he is very active in translations to pt_BR. -- JonhWendell

"Pretto will be one more hand to help our brazilian community of Ubuntu. He has my support to become an official member of the Ubuntu Team." -- [:FRNSantos:Fábio Nogueira]

Even though Laudeci (aka Pretto) has been active in the translations team, I actually support his membership due to his work on APTonCD, as I believe he would be a great asset as a developer for the distro. -- [:OgMaciel:Og Maciel]

Pretto is a major developer and is doing an excellent job in APTonCD and the Ubuntu Games development. All activities carried out by him within the community to qualify as Ubuntu Member Team. -- [:AlexandroSilva:Alexandro Silva]

Without a doubt, Pretto will be a very good "acquisition" to our community. Not only for his technical skills (which is more then proven by other members testimonials), or for the projects he helps as core developer, but also for having patience with new users and being always involved with the national and local community. He definetly has my support any time he needs. -- [:DudaNogueira:Duda Nogueira]
