Thank you Peter. :-) It is a honor to join the advisory board and an even bigger to have been appointed to this board by the Brazilian community that gathers around the OKF-Brazil chapter.
I would love to hear suggestions and more details on the work of the advisory board and if there are any upcoming meetings/meet-ups. Unfortunately, I wont be able to go to Berlin, but I hope to meet some of you in other opportunities. I would be happy to tell you more about OKF-Br plans and activities.
