Why i am interested
I'm interested to work to promote the use of Plone and contribute with community foundation, in particular I'm focused on Spanish-speaker market, although i'm interested to contribute on other places too. I usually travel to Free Software conventions promoting plone, organizing mini courses, just to promote Plone and its communities.
What do i think i can add to the Plone Foundation
- Work to make the Plone community grow. I'm focused on user groups i would love to support the creation of new users groups worldwide.
- Since my previous experiences, i strongly believe i can help getting finantial support (in case it's needed)
- I'd like to participate and then contribute on strategical discussions.
- I'm interested to promote plone on non-english markets. I'd like to contribute and work in order to have plone support in other languages.
