Today is my 22th Birthday Anniversary. Considering that Advogato is a kind of "Nerd Blog", I can't miss this day in my diary. [[ :o) ]] As my birthday is very close to Christmas and New Year, is easier to make a good review about last year and I can tell that I'm very happy with 2004, and I'm also expecting even more from 2005. :))

Ok! But what brings me here, besides my birthday, is the fact that I want to write (and register) a little bit about the 2004 Final Meeting of our Debian User Group, it was a great time, we have dinner at a Mexican Restaurant, between lots of "spicy food" we also discuss a lot about free software, specially Debian, and ideas to 2005. In a few days I will have some pictures and I can post it here.

I was very busy in the last two months!

On [4-5].December.2004, I went to a different Free Software event called OpenBeach; it happened in Florianópolis, the main city in Santa Catarina, a South Brazilian State

We had a great weekend, talk a lot about free software and saw some very good friends. You can check some pictures from the event here .

I also would like to say thank you to tiagovaz that certified me as Apprentice.

During this period I worked a little bit with translations/localizations and give some attention to the Debian User Group that I'm involved.

Still alive...

I'm very busy during the last three weeks, we had two Free Software events extremely close, Conisli was [05-06].nov.2004 and Latinoware was [08-12].nov.2004. I was in charge to organize and take care of Debian Booths (specially Brasilian Debian User Group) in both events.

I would like to thank everybody that helps me to take care, "advocate" Debian, explain a little bit about our philosophy and ideas, how our project is organized and maintained. We also sold some nice T-Shirts and our Debian-BR-CDD (Custom Debian Distribution) CDs.

I'm writing some papers about the Booths and try to add it in Debian Events. During this period I'm facing a great e-mail problem, I don't have a notebook, during the events all mail management was done in WebMail interfaces... that's ok!! I will take some time to "update" my mails (read and answer), some tasks are a little bit delayed.

This week I translate a few things to Debian Women Project on their wiki. I would like to thanks rillian, he certified me as Apprentice. :-)

Unfortunately I was unable to find good pictures to post here! :o( Have to try again!

Advogato is really interesting. I did my first post a few days ago and I was wondering how long will take until somebody certified me. Well... for my suprise fxn was the first :-) There are nice people in this World. I would like to "thanks" (also) surripui, he also certified me.

It is a very busy week!! Today I play PaintBall, it is a very good way to reduce stress. :-) After that, put mails in order. I have to find time to upgrade my Debian Woody to Debian Sarge and re-organize my Partitions' Strategy, because I'm without space...

Besides that, I'm working with documentation for new Free Software Projects related with our Debian User Group. As I said before, it is a busy week, I'm preparing for two Free Software Events in the next days, specially because both of them have a Debian "Booth". Considering this, lots of things stay "un-done", so... have to fight for more time!

Hello World! :o)

First post, first time using blogs! Well, in our lifes there is always (almost always) a first time. I found Advogato a long time ago but never "subscribed" myself. Today I was talking with a great friend (aristeu), and asked him about Advogato... he told me to register, as I was already interested I decided to try it out... why not? :-)

Today I did a few translations for Debian Women Project, anja is finnishing the setup of a new wiki and I'm "feeding" it with Portuguese Bra(s|z)ilian (pt_BR).
