<font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">Hello, My Name is Manuel Escudero and I'm from Mexico, I live in Mexico City. My Fedora Account System username is jmlevick and my IRC nick is jmlevick too, (Almost all my Nicks are jmlevick: Gmail, Google Wave, Skype no, I changed it, but it used to be "jmlevick" too)</font><div>
<font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I learned about the Fedora Marketing Team Trough the Wiki, while I was looking for something to contribute in, so I was interested in Joining because I'm a "People Person" and I like this kind of stuff.</font></div>
<div><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; ">I've Worked in Open Source and/or Free Software Projects in the past. Almost all of the projects I've worked on were started by me because I'm in charge of the Xenode Systems Project (A Registered Brand Here at my Country) But talking about Free Software, There's only one really important: The Devlexo Linux Distro. I worked in this distro because I wanted to make something for the Old PC's so, it's very good for slow old computers and it's based in OpenSUSE.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; "><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; ">The other projects are not Open Source but they are all free. I mostly build Webapps based on Google App Engine, the Google API's and Adobe AIR, But I also enjoy building free Software for Windows, Linux and Mac OS (Like my Cross-Platform Web Browser based on Google Chrome)</span></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">I've also worked in other Marketing Projects in the past, for my own company most of the time working with the publicity, logos/designs and some strategies to get the company "up" in the Internet.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">My Skills, wich I hope to utilize in Fedora Marketing include:</font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div>
<div>
<font face="tahoma, sans-serif">- Good "People Skills" (Like convincing, selling and stuff like that), I also like to solve problems and I'm good at that field, I also like to help people to feel more comfortable in their Workflows.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">- Other Skills: I like to create publicity strategies that are really good to get into a Wider Audience, I'm Pacient, Like to work hard and I'm also very charismatic and I'm good in get productivity high in some ways.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">- I'd also Like to Learn how the Linux Community uses to work and organize, what can we do as a really big team and how we can improve the Linux World for all the people.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">When I'm not working for Fedora, I'm usually in the School or working for Xenode Systems. I like to play the guitar, sing, sometimes read or write texts about Life in my Knol. I also like writting for the Xenode Systems Blog and I like to spread the "Linux Word" around the world, Between friends, family and other people I know. Sometimes I repair computers as a Hobby and I like to convince people of using Linux. A couple of goals I have for the Fedora Project are becoming fedora into the most used Linux distribution of the world because it's great and I'd also like to see some improvements in fedora such as in the hardware support part and in the pre-installed packages. I'm very interested in carry Linux into the schools and some other public places to get the people used to it, specially to Fedora.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">I was wondering about the future you as a team have planned for fedora in all the major aspects.</font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">I would like to share with you my most recent Linux Anecdote, it is some kind of report about the FlisoL Here in México City:</font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">"</font><span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">Today took place FlisoL here in Mexico City as well as in Monterrey, I went to the ITESM campus (In Coyoacán) and initially it was half ugly because when I arrived to the conference it was a little late and the Conference which I wanted to get was knida "cancelled". </span></div>
<span style="font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><div>Then, I had to wait until 3: 00 pm to join into another one that I was interested in. (it was 11: 00 am at the time) So I decided to go to the cinema to watch a movie and return at 3 o' Clock; Unfortunately I was late and I arrived at the 4: 00 pm Conference, the last, that was about music in Linux and free software. Not many people entered but was entertaining because they began giving an introduction to a sheet music MIDI editor, and when the doubts "arrived" and the speaker was in problems I started to resolve them :) There was a point where they turned off the computer and practically I devoted myself to talk about Linux, and what you can do with it, everything we do as Fedora users and some of my projects of Xenode Systems. Between questions and questions, I took the rest of the Conference evangelizing people about Linux and I had fun enough, also I devoted myself to speak for example about the taboo of "Ubuntu" as the easier distribution in general supporting RPM Distros, (Obviously Fedora in the most cases) and how Linux is able to cover all the capabilities of Windows and Mac in some areas offering up more. So I was solving the speaker questions and who attended ones in General, talking about issues not only in the musical field :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I hope that in the future I can enjoy more events... Thanks to the Fedora Community for allowing me to be awared about them."</div><div><br></div><div>And I would also Like to talk you about my most recent projects and plans:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Little time ago, I builted a Webapp called "Tux-Cellar" My work team and I want to build a Community Around the app itself, because is builted for Linux Propouses (It's Like a Social Search Engine for Linux Binaries Like ".DEB", ".RPM", "APTICONS" and others), so begining with this, we started having Ideas, I might work in a New Fedora Spin and a Desktop Client for a APTICONS REPO... Some other Jewels of my webapp collection are the webproxy Calyphrox and SkyDirect, an app that uses an unnofficial SkyDrive API to create little permanent direct download Links for your hosted files of that server.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the past I've also "tried out" some google products like Google App Engine and Google Wave in ther "Dev Previews", and well, I think that's all.
