Occupation

I work as a Laboratory technitian in LGAI in Cerdanyola del Vallès, near Barcelona. I do tests on fire detectors, heat radiators and thermal conductivity of construction materials. In my payed work, there is not much related to computers.

I began using GNU/Linux with a Mandrake in 1999 and I remained quite attached to it until Ubuntu Warty came. I have been running the GLUG Caliu (CAtalan GNU/LInux Users) since 2001 as its Secretary. I organize the Software Freedom Day in Barcelona every year since 2005.
I translated KOffice and kdenetwork GUI and documentation packages, web pages and press releases of Free Software Foundation Europe into Catalan, among other Catalan translations.
