Questions
What is your background in Fedora? What have you worked on and what are you doing now?
I am currently working on keeping the community active in the LATAM region by encouraging contributors to stay engaged and continue collaborating with any team. I also help some come out of anonymity and contribute by giving talks, hosting workshops, among other activities at universities, remotely, etc. I am always looking for ways to support the community in any way I can. I will always be available for Fedora, even when I technically can’t be.
Please elaborate on the personal “Why” which motivates you to be a candidate for Mindshare.
I currently want to continue being a member of the Mindshare Committee because we are now in the process of reactivating the team, and the work we are doing is starting to take shape. We have new roles, goals to achieve, and new ways to support all contributors across the regions.
How would you improve Mindshare Committee visibility and awareness in the Fedora community?
Supporting my region in particular is already where I need to focus most of my attention, in order to generate new regional and community activities, support countries in various ways, and motivate them.
What part of Fedora do you think needs the most attention from the Mindshare Committee during your term?
I believe that right now the LATAM region needs attention from the committee, from the most basic aspects to the more complex ones. I will always believe that LATAM needs a regional event where people can also participate on a larger scale.
