Walter Mariano was born in São Paulo, graduated in graphic arts, I worked in graphics as Graphic Designer, Web Designer and Prepress Technician always using proprietary platforms (Windows and Mac).
In 2000 I met and started using Linux (Red Hat distribution). A new system is not so attractive for the season due to limited resources provided by the workplace, but it aroused the curiosity and showed strong growth.
In 2003 the graphics market has had a strong fall and that's when I began to seek a new field of work. Found in Linux a chance to have a new profession.
My basic knowledge of Linux allowed rapid adaptation, directed courses had achieved a new profession.
Today I'm Administrator Linux servers and networks, computer instructor focusing on free software and Linux. I use Fedora at home and at work.
I am the founder of the Linux Community Indaiatuba. Community dedicated to Linux and free software, I'm also organizer of FLISOL in my town.

I hope I can work and contribute to the Fedora community more.
