Hello everybody! My name is Jefferson Campos, but you can call me "Jeff". I am Brazilian, from Sorocaba, São Paulo (en: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorocaba, pt_br: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorocaba or http://www.sorocaba.sp.gov.br/) I am 25 year old. My main language is Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese) but, despite the simplicity, I can speak in English too. I started with computer when I was 8 years old (3 if count my first video-game). My first computer was a "XT" (monitor: background was black and foreground was green!) then I owned a 386 PC and then a 486. That was a good time! Now I own a modern computer :D When I was 16 years old I went to "technical high school" (we call "escola técnica" in Brazil) and started study about IT. When I was 20 I went to college (Technologist, Computer Science). With 24 I went to college again (Undergraduation, Mathematics). I worked with programming (web programming and java) and mobile phone programming too. I worked with GNU/Linux as system administrator too. I have more experience with Debian-like system (and Ubuntu too) but I want learn more about the "Red Hat GNU/Linux tree". Today I work at Municipal City Hall of Sorocaba as system analyst. Curiosity: I have one tattoo of tux in my chest (left side)! https://plus.google.com/photos/109609086775527240560/albums/574331285729537… (my Google Plus profile with the picture). Presentation using Fedora's guideline: What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past? > I worked before as sysadmin with GNU/Linux (mainly Debian and Ubuntu) and Windows.

I have Some free software projects: http://code.google.com/p/awknet/ (Java library); https://github.com/foguinhoperuca (my github profile); http://sourceforge.net/projects/sigerar (SIGERAR - a requirement management system). What level and type of computer skills do you have? > I have a good knowledge about computers. I work professionally with IT. I have a good knowledge about GNU/Linux too, but I worked with Debian-like distros. What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc. > I love free software and love solve problems. I love talk/help people and teach too. Cooking is a great hobby too! What makes you an excellent match for the project? > I mentioned that I love free software?

Introducing my self and one idea
by Neville A. Cross 16 May '12

16 May '12

I am ambassador and currently a chair in FAmSCo. I want to learn how to make technical documents like using docbook/publican. My idea is that this is one os the least developed skills in Central America countries. So I was dreaming of setup a workshop where a Documentation guru came to Nicaragua, and we invite people from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica to join us for a weekend FAD in documentation. Learning and then documenting something that was wanted but nobody has picked up to do it. Probably will be to far for Panamá to travel by bus, and air fares are expensive to bring many people. I can offer to set up a saloon for the weekend free of charge. So we have a working space. There is somebody that is available to travel some time? If that so, we can start to shaping a FAD. I can also make a budget of foreseen expenses so we can figure out how much this will cost. Probably something to worry when submitting the idea to FAmSCo for budget allocation. It this too crazy? In thew mean time I have get a O'Reilly DocBook Guide to start my learning. Best regards -- Neville https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Yn1v Linux User # 473217

FUDCon KL Docs Hack system is live!
by Joshua Wulf 14 May '12

14 May '12

Hey all you crazy early adopters - the FUDCon KL Docs Hacking system is live! Check it out at http://www.fedorareloaded.com Over the next few days I'll be making a few changes to the layout, including a landing page other than the instructions. Please give it a go - write some content, and give me some feedback about the structure of the book. * What other sections / chapter / content should we put in there? * How does the current request mechanism (the "Additional Things" chapter) work? I'd like to get people banging on it as soon as possible so that I can iron out any bugs before FUDCon starts. Unleash the crowd! - Josh
