currently works for Enova as a Sub-manager of the TI and FOSS Consultancy department. Luis
Antonio is in charge of Planning and Implementing Tools for the Administration and Better Practices

• FliSol 2010 (Toluca, Estado de México); April 2010. Role: Speaker and Lecturer.

Luis Antonio Galindo is a fine example of a man who believes in freedom, in sharing and in
constructing knowledge by being amongst peers and others.

Why am I doing this

Because in my years of professional life FLOSS has always made me learn many ways of doing things,

that has allowed me to share and create knowledge with other people, because I am convinced that

learning needs to be shared and FLOSS make it possible.
