My name is Zoltan Hoppar from Hungary, 31 years old. I live in Győr. I'm one of the founders of the hungarian PCLOS community (PCLinuxOS Hungary[1]), and the first common open linux forum for aiding beginner linux users (Linux Empire[2], and later on building with our Empire team an portal with to get an better integrated info center, around linux theme - targeting a bit educational for everyone - called as Linux Centrum [3]). This site will be general in content, and applies the old presentations/meetings docs what the team made in several cities schools a year ago (TISZK, Pápa, a.s.o). (Note: Currently this site is under continuos development, together with an blog site - and currently filling with data - so be patient.)
I've got interested on linux after fed up with many troubles of MS Windows, and needed an easy, stable, nearly fast learnable OS - and show people that is how easy. Basically looked just for hassle free localization platform, an OS for MS Windows programs. But later decided, that I will keep one or two of my favourite distributions, without dualbooting Windows. I saw that in free world much needed to have a translator, and give people aid about/around linux. So, the journey has so begun... Dropped the hassle and MS Windows.
In beginning it was only PCLOS 2007 (PCLOS were at that time an english only distro, witch made me very happy to be the first HU translator there). But after committing delays, and other community leading problems - after 2 years -, this has been changed to Fedora, at first time to Fedora 8. After that, I have used as primary system only Fedora (9, 10, 11, 12) - because of much better fills my dream. What dream? To have an fully international/localized, innovative, easy-to-use desktop distribution anyone who needs...without restriction on any platform.
Mostly I did, and do localization (i10n) work, EN-Hu, DE-Hu translations in many linux applications, projects (Unity, Austrumi, Ubuntu, Gnome, KDE, and more...). This is my passion since very-very long time - because of who couldn't speak, but want to be creative - this problem must not block, or keep anyone away. This is why I'm wanted to be an contributor in Fedora.
Currently I'm working for Nokia, but in my free time just linux, support chats, meetings, presentations, translations, friends, movies and girls, and anything what life could give. No exceptions. :)
Lately I have noticed that we need an hungarian representative, who makes presentations, or aids people and shows to get better picture around Fedora, and other free FOSS softwares - so I have applied to be an Fedora Ambassador.

Activities within Fedora
Translating
- I'm a l10n translator. I mainly decided to become one because there are lot of open source software outside wich has worth it to be localised. I think all of it must be in Fedora, and should be reachable for anyone, with understandable language easily for who looks for it.
- If you find some program that you'd like to see translated for Fedora shoot me an e-mail and I'll see what I can do.
Ambassador
- I have also applied to be an Hungarian Fedora Ambassador, an representative of Fedora - because of not much big computer shows offering knowledge for people, and possible new customers/users/contributors.
This is my second dream, as far as I know the old big trade/meeting shows like Compfair/Info shows has disappeared at least a decade ago. Well, If you need some info about Fedora, or just want to have an good contact, need a free disc, want to know more of my talks, meetings - drop me a mail, or call me. I'm open to every idea.
