bio

I love innovation and all things mobile, especially the Internet and Linux. I was a founding member of the Ubuntu Brazil community and this led me to becoming an Ubuntu Mobile Developer and to writing a book 'Professional Ubuntu Mobile Development' (Wiley 2009) . This book covers both best practice mobile development and the business opportunities for Linux on mobile devices. From writing the book it was a natural progression to work on the Kubuntu Mobile community mobile distribution. I have for many years been involved with projects seeking the appropriation of technology and media production as a participative methodology for education, social engagement and innovation. Such projects have contributed to establishing nearly a dozen autonomous low tech labs in Brazil and to the Government funded network of 'Pontos de Cultura'.
