Self-Introduction: Guido Sanchidrian

[Victor Fernandez]

Hi Guido, I think so too... like you.

I actually work as Service Leader of Security (Identity Management and Web
Security) Managed Services in SIA Group especializated on ITIL v2/3 good
practices for several customers.

I am trying to build a Fedora Hispano Community as the same success like we
built OpenSolaris Hispano community. The only one problem is he less help of
RedHat here in spain compared with oters like Sun Microsystems, for example.

Nice to meet you... and other.

Regards.
