The community: The New Cult of Dead Cow

In the back room, NeCuDeCo presents his blog The New Cult of Dead Cow and a short bio:

Hi everyone, I use the nickname NeCuDeCo, although people who know me well call me Renato. I'm a student of System Engineering in the National University of Trujillo where I am also the president of the community of open source software.

I've been in the programming world since I was 11 and have used various programming languages: pascal, basic, C, C++, PowerBuilder, Mono, PHP etc. (Almost all languages except those of logic programming). I was a Star Microsoft developer (we all have a dark secret) until about a year ago when I migrated to Linux. I have worked in a variety of companies in development positions and in the migration towards Open Source software. I am the creator of a Linux distribution (still only of local significance) called RagnarokLinux.

I collaborate with the Mono team on a variety of projects and also with the PHP community giving occasional talks. As an instigator of Open Source I take part in conferences and discussions at different colleges in my area, promoting the philosophy and technology of Open Source.
