I'm a Brazilian developer and programmer. I've been using LaTeX since 2007 for virtually everything - articles, theses, songbooks, music sheets, slides, labels, visiting cards, you name it. TeX/LaTeX is always my first choice when I have to produce high quality documents. I never regreted of using it.
Though I'm light years far from being a TeXpert, I'm always eager to learn.
On the Computer Science side, my areas of interest include Automata Theory, Adaptive Technology and Programming Languages. I have some opensource projects hosted in SourceForge.net and GitHub.com.
My humble contributions to CTAN, TeX Live and the TeX community so far:
arara: a TeX automation tool based on rules and directives.araragives you subsidies to enhance your TeX experience.checkcites: a Lua script written for the sole purpose of detecting unused or undefined references from both LaTeX auxiliary or bibliography files. My good friend Enrico Gregorio encouraged me and gave me great ideas to write this script, so we came up with this script.- TeX Live PT-BR: This project consists of providing a Brazilian Portuguese translation file for TeX Live. The translation file
pt_br.pois now incorporated into the official release in order to provide localized content to the TeX users in the Portuguese-speaking countries. - TeXPrinter: TeXPrinter is a Java application designed for the sole purpose of printing threads from here. TeXPrinter currently can print threads to
texandpdfformats.
In my ToDo list:
- Implement
dandelionwith my good friend Bruno Le Floch. - Finish The TeXbook and The LaTeX Companion.
- Learn Metapost, PSTricks and TikZ, in that order.
- Learn LaTeX3 and somehow help the project.
- Implement a complete LaTeX3 editor.
- Go to a TUG conference.
- Lure Barbara Beeton to sign my TeXbook.
:P - Lure Frank Mittelbach to sign my LaTeX companion.
:P - Watch a cricket match with Joseph Wright and David Carlisle.
- Have a pet duck.
:)
If you want to support LaTeX development by a donation, the best way to do this is donating to the TeX Users Group.
LaTeX isn't for everyone but it could be for you. :)

Draw an aircraft with Tikz @Przemysław: well, you can. :) I just worry when I see a new question getting three downvotes in less than 20 minutes (not that we should upvote it too). Joseph once wrote a nice blog post about it, I think it's worth a read. :) |

Problem with algorithm2e and portuguese option Hi Luan, welcome to TeX.SX! :) Interesting question. I suspect something related to the later expansion of \Para, since both spanish and portuguese share the same macro name for it. |

Beamer on MacBook Air @AlanMunn: wow, this is really new for me. :) Apparently, it depends on an option during the partitioning phase, where you can choose the filesystem case-sensitivity. I never paid attention to that in my machines, I'll take a look. Thanks for the info, Alan. :) |

Beamer on MacBook Air @Crowley: I think I got it right, although I really prefer not case-sensitive than case-insensitive. :) I don't know why I tried to be fancy. :) |
