Introduction: Avi Alkalay, former Linux Impact Team, IBM Brazil

[Avi Alkalay]

Hello

I am on this list for many weeks now but never wrote anything.

I spent my last 6 years working on the Linux team on IBM Brazil and LA.
No I took another job still on IBM, but now related to industry solutions.
And I miss the Linux community.

I am still very involved with standardization initiatives as ODF. I
represent IBM Brazil in our local National Body (ABNT) and worked for months
in the "non-standardization" of OOXML.

Hope to help local and global Linux initiatives.

Regards,
Avi

Good to see you on the list.  BTW, did you attend the BRM in Geneva
earlier this year?

Harish, no, not me. But Jomar and other colleagues from Brazil attended.
I almost went to Geneva. ISO let only 3 reps from Brazil. We asked for 6
positions. If it allowed 6, I should be going.

Anyway, I worked very closely to the folks that went there.

Did you go ?

Regards,
Avi
