Russia-based professional translator living in a Siberian city near the Lake Baykal. See the lake on a map: quite big, moon-shaped — right there, in the Middle Asia — I love it for crystal clear water and enormous space above rocks and evergreen pine trees. A great place to free your mind and cleanse your soul. James Cameron came here in August 2010 to celebrate his 50th jubilee. He came down to bottom and then went to drink vodka at a local camp. :) I love to have a laugh, but prioritize quality work. I am very fond of IT, especially open source, and everything creative, beautiful, even edgy is my big interest. I like to get to know other people and cultures, it's awesome to find that we all have much in common. I believe that friendship is beyond a language.

Other activities outside Fedora

I've been translating and proof-reading within the GNOME Project and as a member of the Russian Ubuntu Translators team. I have mostly been interested in Banshee and Deluge, two great products for Linux, OS X and Windows.

I translate for Android. The vast acceptance of the BitTorrent client tTorrent among Russian users is due to its Russian translation.
