Questions
What are your hobbies?Read books, go to the Gym (I like do Body Combat, you know?), travel and helping with KDE translations
When did you get involved in KDE?
I participated in LDP-BR project, when someone mentioned KDE translation. I found out that many people in Brasil were contributing for the project (specifically code), but no one helping with translations ... so I looked around for more information, and I created a page and started sending messages to many tech maillists.
Where and when did you see KDE for the first time?
I think it was at Conectiva.
How do you contribute to KDE?
I'm coordenating Brazilian translation effort, and also helping with translations.

Why is KDE-Women important for you?
It's important to have a place where active women can publish and discuss, not just KDE, but other subjects. And also it's a place where "new KDE-women" can find more information about how they can participate in the project.
How much time do you usually spend on KDE?
About 1 hour per day, but depends on my work and the colaborations :)
What is missing badly in KDE?
A project managenment tool.
What was your first computer?
A Pentium II 200 MHz, with 32 MB memory (now it's with my mother :))
Which section of KDE is underrated and could get more publicity?
I haven't really thought about it. I'm not sure, I think I don't have a formed opinion.
When did you start to use KDE on a daily basis?
About a year ago, when I changed my window manager (I used to use Window Maker), and began helping with translations.
What is the worst thing you ever had to do for KDE?
Rejecting contributions because of bad quality :-(
I know it's the right thing to do (for the project) but I think about all the work that person put into it... sometimes my conscience hurts a little.
