I was born in Barcelona but I've been living in Granada since 2000, a beautiful city in Andalusia, Spain. My first contact with Ubuntu was in its 10.04 version. I am mostly self-trained as a developer and system administrator, although I have also taken some formal courses in open source technologies, from HTML5 to Arduino. I'm currently at the free software office of Granada's University, where I have been involved with an initiative that refurbishes computing equipment, including the installation of lightweight Ubuntu distros, donating them to NGOs and non-for-profit associations, which includes a short course on how to use Linux, usually, it's the first contact they have with free operating systems. I have a been teaching free applications and introducing programming to kids also, where I prepare custom Ubuntu image that is used by all teachers too. I contribute to the Free Software Foundation and I'm the secretary of the local GNU/Linux association of [[http://gcubo.org/|GCubo]] and a member of [[https://github.com/Open-XXI|OpenXXI's]] association. ------ === Contact Information === {{https://launchpad.net/@@/person}} Email: makova65@gmail.com {{https://launchpad.net/@@/language}} IRC: makova on network irc.freenode.net {{https://launchpad.net/favicon.ico}} Launchpad Account: [[https://launchpad.net/~makova|makova]] {{http://www.senojflags.com/images/national-flag-icons/United-Nations-Flag.png}} Languages: Spanish, Catalán, English === Social media === || '''Telegram''': || @Makova || || '''Blog''': || http://makova.es/ || || '''Twitter''': || http://twitter.com/makova65 || || '''G+''': || https://plus.google.com/102132785313664901165 || || '''Git Hub''': || https://github.com/Makova || ------ === Ubuntu objectives === 1.

Disseminate and organize events for Ubuntu and Ubuntu Phone in Granada. ------ == Contributions == I have been collaborating in Ubuntu's forum since 2010 and simultaneously contributing what I received from the Free Software community. In Madrid's Flisol 2011 I talked about the new Ubunt's Unity. Developer and manager of [[http://www.ubuntu-guia.com/|Ubuntu-guia]]; actually working on the update 16.04. I created a blog to show how to install, configure and debug Debian and Ubuntu and support users through comments. In my role as a customer support technician at Granada's University, I install Ubuntu almost exclusively to users that request it, including the refurbished computers we donate and computers used at the Political Science and Sociology College of Granada's University. I have been a staunch supporter of free software and promoted its use through Ubuntu which has always been my distro of choice. Even if I cannot prove every single event with pictures, people in the University and the Free Software Office can vouch for me if needed [[http://osl.ugr.es/2014/05/23/proxima-instalacion-aulas-de-ccpolsoc/|ccpolsoc]]. I created two [[https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/|webapps]] for Ubuntu Touch. I translated [[https://translations.launchpad.net/unav/trunk/+pots/unav/ca/+translate?direction=backwards&start=330|uNav]] into Catalan. ------ == Other events == Presentation of the first desktop Unity [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uf3wY_Uc5U|Flisol 2011 Madrid]] [[http://osl.ugr.es/2011/09/16/manana-es-el-software-freedom-day/|Software freedom Day 2011 Granada]] Ubuntu installation [[http://foro.ubuntu-guia.com/Flisol-Festival-Latinoamericano-de-Instalacion-de-Software-Libre-2012-td3876277.html#a3945544|Flisol 2012 Granada]] [[http://osl.ugr.es/2012/09/12/software-freedom-day-2012-en-granada/|Software Freedom Day 2012]] [[http://www.makova.es/2013/04/flisol-2013-en-la-chana.html|Flisol 2013 Granada]] [[http://osl.ugr.es/2014/04/13/proximo-flisol-2014-en-granada/|Flisol 2014 Granada and Software Freedom Day]] [[http://osl.ugr.es/2015/09/07/sofware-freedom-day-and-wiki-loves-monuments-2015/|Software Freedom Day and Wiki Loves Monuments 2015 Granada]] Hour of the code with Ubuntu computers in school classroom Computer [[http://osl.ugr.es/2015/12/13/cronica-de-la-hora-del-codigo-hourofcode/|Hour of code 2015]] Ubuntu installation and Troubleshooting UEFI and EFI [[http://osl.ugr.es/2015/10/06/juevesenlaetsiit/|Thursday of ETSIIT installing GNU/Linux ]] II Hackathon to installation the [[http://osl.ugr.es/2016/12/14/segundo-hackaton-de-ordenadores-libres-con-lubuntu/|Lubuntu 16.04]] recording [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJvwvrqS4ec&t=3s|video]].
