Goals in the Fedora Project

 * To have a linux distribution fully translated to Spanish. A stable and an easy to install one.
 * Use linux and open source software in my daily work.
 * Port the software I developed to linux.
 * Use linux everywhere I work.

Historical qualifications

 * Software development using mainly C++ for Win32 wxMSW-OWL-native api, and for linux with wxGTK.
 * WAN and LAN administrator using linux and cisco.
 * Red Hat Linux user since Red Hat Linux version 3.1.
 * C++ programmer since 1991.
 * Since august 2006, Spanish translator for the Fedora Project.
 * Since 2007, Fedora Spanish Translation Team coordinator.

Current occupations

 * I currently work for the ISSPSE (Instituto de Seguridad Social para Profesionales de Santiago del Estero, www.isspse.com.ar, isspse AT isspse DOT com DOT ar) since 1998. ISSPSE is an institution dedicated to manage retirement funds of almost all professionals in my province. The work I do here is software development, investment analysis (specially Argentina sovereign debt bonds) and actuarial studies (long term projections and scenarios simulations).


 * I also work for some small supermarkets, in software development, since 1998. I develop systems for billing, accounting, and everything a small business needs.


 * Professor and responsible for the following cathedras:
 * Compiladores e Intérpretes - Ingeniería en Computación - Universidad Católica de Santiago del Estero - since 2008
 * Redes de Area Local - Tecnicatura en Redes - Universidad Católica de Santiago del Estero - since 2008
 * Diseño de Redes - Tecnicatura en Redes - Universidad Católica de Santiago del Estero - since 2008
 * Lenguajes Formales y Autómatas - Ingeniería en Computación - Universidad Católica de Santiago del Estero - since 2010


 * As I am a network administrator using linux from a long time ago, and I've been paid for that job, I give back to the open source community by translating the linux distribution I work with.

Successes and Implementations
I may happily say that I succeeded in three of the goals mentioned above. I'm on my way on using linux everywhere.

By april 2010, a customer bought my software for point of sale, and gave me a special request: he wanted it to be installed under Linux. I installed Fedora, of course. That date is important to me, because I didn't have to talk about how good Fedora Linux operating system is and how good my software performs on it.

The problems I encountered in Fedora Linux implementation in the enterprise and the solution I given are documented in this page.
