Detailed description:
I'm spreading GNOME in Brasil since 2005 as Fedora Latam Community Manager.

Since 2005 I'm attending a lot of events by year in all Brazilian regions sharing Fedora Medias with GNOME as 
default Desktop and using GNOME in all my speaks, always talking about all news around GNOME in each Fedora 
release. 

I was responsible by translation of many Fedora Release Notes and News, always spreading all GNOME's new 
resources/functionalities included in each Fedora release. 

I've contributed with the Linux+ Magazine http://www.lpmagazine.org/ as author, writing articles for 4 
editions presenting 4 Fedora Releases showing all Fedora news with special focus on GNOME Desktop and all 
resources in each GNOME release included in Fedora.

Since 2008 I'm helping Izabel and the local GNOME guys to share the GNOME project.

This year I've represented GNOME in many events and presented some lectures about GNOMEShell and GNOME3, 
including:

- Fedora Developers and Users Conference - Santiago - Chile
- Linux in Rio - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil
- FISL - Porto Alegre - Brasil

I'm planning/organizing more 3 events where I will be representing GNOME with special focus on GNOMEShell and 
GNOME3

- SOLISC - Santa Catarina - Brasil
- LATINOWARE - Foz do IguaÃu - Brasil
- Universidade Livre - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil

I have a lot of ideas to help GNOME to grow in Brasil and Latam region.with my approval I will work hard to 
recruit new members to contribute to GNOME in many areas.

By now I'm a researcher at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro where we are using UBUNTU with GNOME as 
default platform. I'm working there to apply GNOME in some educational projects mainly with EDUBUNTU, so, I 
have some plans to work in GNOME Educational projects, spreading GNOME as a great platform for educational 
purposes.
