I am a Secondary School teacher of English who can boast of having been one of the coordinators of the first year of the Andalusian ICT Schools project. Between April 2004 and August 2008 I worked as a teacher training advisor, coordinating the training around 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).
