Ubuntu Work

Ubuntu Studio

status: Leader of the Packaging Team

["Ubuntu Studio"] is a multimedia editing/creation flavour of Ubuntu. It's built for the GNU/Linux audio, video, and graphic enthusiast or professional.

Our aim is to make it more accessible for new users to get into the tools that GNU/Linux has to offer for multimedia creation/production. We also want to spotlight whats out there. Show users tools they might not have know existed.

I'm also behind the spanish community of UbuntuStudio, being in charge of the forums (http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=forum/62) and the irc channel #ubuntustudio-es@freenode. I moderate the english forums as well.

Derivate Team

Working to get a solid team of Ubuntu derivates to share knowledge and ideas. ["Derivate Team"]

I'm the Launchpad team owner, and in the process of creating a mailing list, to get it starting.

Ubuntu MOTU

In the process of becoming a MOTU. With the pleasure of having [wiki:LukeYelavich Luke Yelavich] as a mentor.

Contributions to free software in general

freemix

Developing/experimenting with a live video editing application, [http://launchpad.net/freemix freemix] Thought for live video artists (I will be using it in my gigs), it will become an application to be able to sequence, mix and filter videos on the run. Since it's a personal project, don't expect usable versions to come soon.

Past development

In the past developed/contributed for a brief time for Gnome Hispano, Gimp and Blender.

Other

Besides my other contributions besides Ubuntu Studio, I try to advocate ubuntu/linux everytime I have a chance. Specially at my collegue, at lectures and install parties the LUG gives.

Have given lectures about:

• Social Impact of Free Software
• GStreamer
• Gimp
• Blender
• OpenGL
• Pure Data
• Processing.org
• Linux vs. Windows

Teams

• ["Ubuntu Studio"] - read above
• ["Derivate Team"] - ' '

• ["Ubuntu BugsQuad"] - A great way to learn in Ubuntu is to fix small (and not that small) bugs. Specially unmet dependencies bugs.

• ["Ubuntu España"] - The spanish LoCo team. I usually hang around #ubuntu-es@freenode and help spanish users resolve doubts and problems. It is a great way to get spanish-speaking users since they get the support they need at the beginning in their own language.
