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 some small supermarkets and stores, in software development, since 1998. I develop systems for billing, accounting, and everything a small business needs. I also provide cunsulting services.

- As I work as 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.
