Dear Arantxa,<br>
<br>
yes, of course, I know him and I think every os person on this planet <br>
does, too.<br>
With him on your side, it will be a cinch!<br>
<br>
Last time I met Eleder was in Krakow at the WOSonOS 2015... best memory <br>
is his great smile and laughter, second best is the can of basque beans <br>
he brought as a gift... and we still have a deal for a grand basque <br>
dinner if I ever make it to his home!<br>
<br>
He included himself in the worldmap, see here<br>

<br>
You are invited to join him on the map, just go here<br>

<br>
and include your picture so I can look at you when writing an email.<br>
<br>
Let the os world know how your first os was for you... that is one of <br>
the best venues for learning...<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
