Eduardo Echeverria
I started using Linux in 1997 with Red Hat 5.0 (Hurricane). Since then, I have been an active promoter of free software, collaborating with the LUG Vaslibre for approximately four years.
I hold a graduate degree in computer science from the University of Carabobo, Venezuela, with over 15 years of experience in IT management and application development. For more than 18 years, I have been dedicated to advocating for free software, not only in Venezuela but also in Colombia, Uruguay, and Argentina, fostering open-source adoption and community engagement.
A teacher by profession and a technologist by passion, I live in a constant search to make sense of the world through a monitor and a keyboard.
As a packaging sponsor, I actively review and mentor new packagers, helping to strengthen the ecosystem of free and open-source software.

Sessions
Mentorship has always been a big part of what makes Fedora special. This year, we’re adding something new to the Fedora Mentor Summit: a casual lunch matching session where mentors and mentees can meet face-to-face, share stories, swap ideas, and connect over common goals.
Here’s how it works:
* We’ve already paired folks based on the Fedora Discussion thread.
* If you didn’t sign up ahead of time - no worries! Stop by and we’ll find you a spot based on the groups we’ve already put together.
* Need a conversation starter? We’ll have a few prompts ready to help break the ice.
* Take a group selfie during lunch and you’ll earn a Fedora Badge as a fun keepsake. 🐧
No formal structure - just good food and good conversation with someone else who cares about growing the Fedora community.
Join us for a fun way to meet fellow attendees. Pick up a Fedora mascot sticker (we’ll have plenty of designs), then look around for others wearing the same one. That’s your cue to say hello - it’s that simple.
This isn’t just for mentors or mentees - it’s for anyone who wants to connect with new or familiar faces and feel more at home in the Fedora community. And yes, there might be some goodies in the mix too. 🐧
