About Me

My real name is Alejandro Armesto but, please, call me Xandru. I work as a teacher in a Primary School in Asturies (Spain) so I'm specially interested in educative software.

My main activities with Ubuntu are training courses, conferences and talkings about it, especially with teachers and professors.
