About you
I am a Colombian freelance translator currently finishing a PhD in Translation in Castellón, Spain. For some years now I've been using FOSS products for both my personal and professional activities. I am a regular user of LibreOffice, OmegaT, Okapi Framework, LF aligner and other FOSS professional tools for translators.

I've also promoted the use of FOSS tools among professional translators by means of my Mediawiki-based wiki and by giving a number of presentations on the subject for different professional organizations (APTIC, Xarxa, SFT).

As part of my teaching duties for the FOSS for Translators module of the Master in Translation and Localization Technologies (2009-2011), I coordinated students' collaboration as translators for different FOSS projects.

As a grateful MediaWiki user, I think the Outreach Program for Women is a great opportunity to start giving back and becoming involved in such a great project.

Past open source experience
My contribution to FOSS so far has been mostly limited to evangelization, but I have also helped with some Spanish translations:
