= Introduction =
I have been using Ubuntu for a while and is time to get back to the comunity a little of my humble contribution. This page will discuss the steps that I go through in order to become an MOTU and is inspired by the friends [[protonchris/MOTU|Protonchris's MOTU page]] and [[EfrainValles/MOTUJourney|Efrain's MOTU page]].

= Beginners Packaging Day =
Last saturday 02/23/2008 a friends and i met in Maracay Venezuela and organize a little Packaging Jam to share our experiencies and reach the main target, became a MOTU, this kind of meetings are very productive, we had ubuntu and debian enthusiasts working together, after this day i think is very important do this activities every where, i hope do this at least in a two weeks period.
