Abstract    

I am a Secondary School teacher of English who can boast of having been one of the ICT coordinators of the first year of the Andalusian ICT Schools project. At the moment I work as a teacher training advisor, coordinating the training of the usage of the Guadalinex distribution for the teachers in my area.

A user of GNU Linux since 1997 (Debian since 1998), I am a member of several Free/Libre organizations: Linux Malaga (local), ADALA (regional), Hispalinux (Spanish), OFSET (international). I am the author of documentation about free educational software and accessibility (27 articles at Linux Magazine, several talks and courses...)

Because of my training as a professional translator I became responsible for the language tools of LuCAS/TLDP-ES. I have contributed with my translations of free software (kbd, yudit, galette, wims, gnuedu), and am the author of documentation about translation tools and internationalization (euro/iso-8859-15 first and utf-8/multilingualization later).
