About Me

My name is David Pires, I am 45 years old, live in Porto, a fabulous city in the north of Portugal, and I work in a Portuguese government agency as a programmer, primarily in Java and SQL, since 1994. Aside from my family, there are three things without which I could not keep my mental sanity, which are cinema, music and my books.

My first contact with computers goes back to 1984, when my parents offer me my first computer, a ZX Spectrum 48K, and with it I started to learn my first programming language, Basic.

I started using Linux by the time of Jaunty Jackalope release, in 2009, and since then I've tried several other Linux distributions such as Arch Linux, CentOS and Debian, but I always came back, one way or the other, to the one I feel more comfortable with, which is Ubuntu.

Contributions

Despite having started to use Ubuntu and Linux-based operating systems in 2009, it was only in late 2012 that I began to somehow try to reciprocate what I always received from the Ubuntu community, which is help and a sense of purpose. So in November 7th, 2012, I joined the Ubuntu Forums, and in November 9th, 2012, I joined Launchpad.
