'About Me''

' I am a strong believer in the Open Source movement and the Creative Commons movement. I teach English as a Second Language and do some freelance Web work.

I believe my interest in this genre is based on a few principles and ideas. They are: * Society is losing its sense of community. Too many people are only interested in their own goals and beliefs. The idea of a common goal for members of a community is rare.

* Education is very expensive.

* Copyrights and intellectual property are becoming too restrictive.

* Everyone is influenced by others. Everyone, when developing themselves, borrows knowledge.

* Society benefits from shared knowledge.

I look forward to be an active member of this community.
