Who am I?

Hi there! My name is Fernando dos Santos, I'm 40 years old. My birthplace is one of the most beautiful island in Brazil, Florianópolis. I'm a cyberactivism and a free software advocate who graduated with a free software degree in 2008 at the UNISUL University in Brazil. In the year of 2010 I became a Fedora Evangelist.

I'm living in JAMPA - João Pessoa, the Paraíba's Capital.
