I am an IP/IT attorney, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have been practice law for almost 20 years as a litigator attorney at a law firm and worked for US Corporations. If you do legal work for a Corporation one of the first thing you must do is to understand what is your company´s business and what are the internal policies that are established, and logically their boundaries. Furthermore, Corporations set forth applicable rules or internal policies based on laws to all their subsidiaries worldwide. Normally, internal policies regulate business sales, grey market, FCPA, export control, antitrust, IP inbound and outbound rights, privacy, etc. If that Corporation pertains to the technology business, probably counts with an Open Source Policy. In 2007, I had my first encounter with a corporate policy about GPL/LGPL Architecture Guidelines. Undoubtedly, this fact awakened my interest in open source. These rules, in one way or another, are incorporated in the company business, especially in sales technology agreements where is established that open source is integrated into the company´s product, etc. Thus, commercial attorneys, with a focus in technology transaction must be capable to explain customers many of the issues around open source in business. In August 2010 I joined Oracle Legal Department, being part of my job to provide the legal support to the Latin America Oracle Global Business Unit Linux/MySQL/Virtualization. In doing so, I had the chance to learn many of the topics around open source, especially those related to Linux services support practices. Apart from that, any time that I have been invited to talk about open source and licensing I did it. My talks started in Sept. 2007 at the Austrian & Argentine Chambers of Commerce, July 2008 at Buenos Aires University, IP Course, 2012 at Universidad Austral LLM in IP, and 2013 I was invited to talk in one of the most important law firms in Argentina. So, what reasons may I have to run for a seat at OSI board? Anyone that has had the chance to review the OSI mailing list has noted some tensions in different subject matters. I believe in participation and collaboration based on the recognization of the work already done by OSI. If we can consensus for a commitment to help many things can be done. Furthermore, I have some experience in legal and affairs in Latin America, so I want to use that to foster the OSD in Latin America countries. If you are eligible to vote in the next OSI board elections and you want to know more about me please send me a note to ggma at ggmalaw dot com and I would be happy to talk with you and clarify any doubt you may have regarding the reasons I have to want a seat at OSI Board.
