Summary:
GNOME Chile, advocacy, gyrus, Spanish docs, assorted patches

Detailed description:
* GNOME Chile member.[1]

  I've been an active contributor of GNOME Chile during one year.
Now the guys considerate me part of the team and I'm proud of it.

* GNOME Development in Chile advocacy.[2]

  I've given a couple of talks about some elements of the GNOME
Development Platform and about my little experience in contributing to
GNOME development.

* Gyrus hacker and maintainer.[3]

  I've been hacking on gyrus for about 2 years and am the currently
maintainer and main hacker.

* Spanish documentation about GNOME development platform.[4][5]

  I wrote a little document in Spanish about integrating autotools with
libglade in order to start a GNOME project. I wrote it when i was just
beginning with GNOME development so it is not too complete and accurate.

  I also wrote part of the GtkTreeView chapter from the "Libro GNOME",
the Spanish guide to GNOME development.

* Assorted patches.

  I've sent patches for gtkmm documentation and gnome-keyring-manager.

Other comments:
---------------
Looking forward, I'm interested in getting more involved in the
development of the desktop and development platform.

Also I would like to be part of the foundation because as a latin
american, I can help expresing my viewpoints to make GNOME closer to our
needs, by voting in the Board elections.
