Re: Contact with Latinamerica
Hi all :) I just wanted to let you know how are we going :) We can say now that we are international! New members are working with us from Venezuela! By now we are on the 50% of our git translation project, we hope to have it ready for the next release :) This is our first draft of the website, it took me a while to finish the legal stuff but hopefully in a couple of weeks we are going to have all done and our english version of the web for you to share it :) https://codelabora.github.io/ Please feel free to add any comment or info that you want us to tell here. Thanks a lot for your participation in this project Christopher Díaz Riveros

I'll present myself then, since the last presentations don't say a lot about myself hehe. Well you all know that I am a software development student here. The institute here teaches us things like web (java, php, javascript) and mobile development (java, swift). On the other hand I think that in order to be a good developer (like real hackers) someone needs to understand how the machine thinks and works, that's why I've been learning OS concepts and low level languages like Assembly and C by myself in order to really understand how a computer works. I love open source given the fact that it helps you to discover how other amazing developers think and work. I've been using Linux-based distros since a couple of years, I could even create my own Linux From Scratch once a couple of months ago, that was a great learning experience :D but I stay with Gentoo linux since I've found there a lot of great information and the ability to learn about source code and get the max performance from my laptop. I don't like web and mobile development, but I do enjoy breaking mobile and web apps :D that's why I'm focusing right now on cybersecurity. Right now I'm and intern in a company called BroderJobs here in Lima, as security analist (actually I'm the whole TI dptmnt). Here in Peru, sadly, open source is like a taboo... noone uses it, neither companies nor educational institutions. That's why I'm founding this community, in order to give students the ability to connect with open source communities and work with great developers. Right now we are 4, but I believe that when the classes begin again ( on August 15th me and some other universities one week later) I'm going to be able to invite them and see how this project growths :D That's why right now I'm getting in touch with lots of communities to see how can we contribute and this could help me to present the community to universities and other institutions so that they can see that we actually help big communities. That's me :) nice to meet you all Christopher Díaz Riveros

Indeed that's something we could help with since it would be much easier for us to invite people when we have all that information to show. Thanks again all of you, Christopher Díaz Riveros
Contact with Latinamerica
Hi, My name is Christopher Díaz Riveros, I'm a software development student in Lima, Peru. For some time now I have been supporting my Linux community, Gentoo Linux, and I have discovered a wide world of possibilities in open source. I tell you this because it has been so much benefit in my training as a a developer that I am determined to start a new community in my country to be able to make technology-related career students find an open source community in which they can learn to work and get the same positive effect that I have had on mine. I have already been talking to some teachers, I am about to begin my final year of studies in the institute, and they agree to start the community with students of the institution. As one of the main problems when getting involved with a community here is the barrier of english language, and few are able to have fluent conversations in that language, as it is a bit intimidating for most to approach an open source community. My community hopes to get in touch with different open source projects throughout the world and seeks to be a midpoint to interact with young developers and communities. Having said all this I have only to offer to your community, the availability of our community (we still do not have a definite name) and see if anyone is interested in supporting this group of developers here and with a bit of luck be able to turn it into a movement of all Latin America. Thanks and any kind of feedback is welcome :) Christopher Diaz Riveros
