Hi :) Yeah, you are right Martin. I agree with you when you say "we
should do that work in Debian, not every time again for every single
DebConf" because I recognize that my initiative would seem in that way
and I have been interested in get involved in Debian Project directly of
course ;) The matter is that over the last three years the road has not
been easy to get involved as I would for different reasons or "excuses"
because of live in Mexico and be a lower middle class guy that parallel
to study sociology in university, became interested in know how to use
technically Free Software and Debian knowing hardly anything about
computers at the beginning, besides other activities as working.

My main interest is to be a Debian package maintainer or developer of
some area in Debian by the technical side, because I like more use the
CLI, compile source code and learn this kind of stuff, but document
myself with the whole procedure and learn the necessary knowledge to get
involved in these activities, has been too slow for me because of
everything else and not having certain skills before.

By that reason and by the moment I have had the opportunity to
collaborate with some po-debconf templates in the Debian spanish
translation team, I have participated organizing Debian Day as
coordinator during the last 4 years in Mexico City and giving some talks
and workshops about Debian, promoting Debian in FLISOL events and
installing Debian on each computer that is possible since 2009. Also I
have participated in DebCon12 as volunteer in FrontDesk and VideoTeam
beyond the interviews that I made for my research. Maybe this will not
contribute directly to Debian as developer, but I do what I can for now
and always with the greatest enthusiasm ;)

It is good to know that Debian needs a lot more help in the areas that
you say. I will get more involved since now and even in next DebConf's
that I can not attend because I am finishing university and I will have
more time for stay in touch and do more for Debian. Finally I am
attending DebConf15 because this year I will have enough money at least
for the plane ticket if job keeps well, unlike two years ago to
Vaumarcus and the last one in Portland because of not be on time for
prepared the american visa and not have enough progress in my thesis
work. Sorry if I extended a lot. Thank you and have a nice day.
