I'm involved with computers for the last 3 decades, since I was a child, when I then enjoyed learning computer programming. This evolved to becoming a professional computer programmer years later. Nowadays, I'm a sysadmin. I came to Free Software in 2003, and to Debian in 2005. In 2008, I joined the Brazilian Portuguese localization team, and I'm still an active and motivated member. Gradually, I was discovering some of the people behind Debian, and now I think it's time for me to join the Debian project in a more official way.
