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
