Hey!
I'm Luís Pedro Costa Algarvio (aka LPCA), and I'm from Portugal. I'm an active Drupal developer since 2008 and Linux administrator since 2004.I study and work in just about anything that IT covers and my hobbies are mostly related to IT, other technologies, electronics, history, culture, etc. I really like to study and invent, to which I'm pretty much addicted, as I am a compulsory self-learner...
I enjoy walking, cycling a lot and being at open spaces in general, when there's good weather - which we have a lot in Portugal - and especially, nature, which I hold in respect and always try to protect.
Whenever I can, I also play some role in activist groups and communities that stand by my principles and do my best to alert people to the problems they are against. Some of the principles I will always stand for, are freedom, open source, democracy, peace and sustainability.
See you around ;)
