== About Me ==
Born in 1986, Jerônimo Medina Madruga is a proud Brazillian and a shy nerd, who fell in love with computers in a time where windows 3.11, floppy disks and creative labs multimedia kit were still "groovy". As the time passes by, he started to get more and more interested in communist topics, like "Open Source", "Free Software" and "GNU/Linux". As he read more about this, he saw that the only real communist is Zangief, and that guys who adore the Tux were actually quite cool guys to hangout with.
I'm a Eletronics Technician and Computer Science Student who uses Open Source Software since 2006. Nowadays, my day job is mainly tech support at moodle instalations of my university, and on my free time I give some lectures about OSS.


== GOALS ==
After learning some tricks in the command line, he began preaching about the advantages of openning your code and the nirvana provided by the WTFPL. Although being a zealot of the "Stallman way of programming", he doesn't hold a grudge against Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, seing both of then as smart guys on their respective fields. Jerônimo also flirted sometime with the *BSD side of the force, but always feel that there is something missing on the dektop front, as much as he loves the port system, secure standards and a pretty decent documentation.


* Show people that Fedora isn't any seven headed monster, and that using it can be quite fun.

Most of my work during the day is related to the technical support of moodle installations of [http://www.ufpel.edu.br/ UFPel]. At my spare time, I spent most productive time learning about Python, HTML 5 and Moodle, lecturing in events like [http://hackthursday.com/ HackThursday] or participating in FLOSS discussions at [http://tchelinux.org TcheLinux].

== Goals ==
 
* Show people that Fedora isn't any seven headed monster.
* Code more often to help more people.
* Show how the 4 F's can make all the difference.

* Just show that OSS projects can be fun and productive :)

Who is Jerônimo?

Born in 1986, Jerônimo Medina Madruga is a proud Brazillian and a shy nerd, who fell in love with computers in a time where windows 3.11, floppy disks and creative labs multimedia kit were still "groovy". As the time passes by, he started to get more and more interested in communist topics, like "Open Source", "Free Software" and "GNU/Linux". As he read more about this, he saw that the only real communist is Zangief, and that guys who adore the Tux were actually quite cool guys to hangout with.

After learning some tricks in the command line, he began preaching about the advantages of openning your code and the nirvana provided by the WTFPL. Although being a zealot of the "Stallman way of programming", he doesn't hold a grudge against Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, seing both of then as smart guys on their respective fields. Jerônimo also flirted sometime with the *BSD side of the force, but always feel that there is something missing on the dektop front, as much as he loves the port system, secure standards and a pretty decent documentation.

What are you doing nowadays?

Most of my work during the day is related to the technical support of moodle installations of UFPel. At my spare time, I spent most productive time learning about Python, HTML 5 and Moodle, lecturing in events like HackThursday or participating in FLOSS discussions at TcheLinux.

Where can I find some of your lectures?

It's somewhat scattered around the web, like:
