Of course I do :)

I was actually impressed that someone from IBM Brazil was taking
this role. Traditionaly, IBM Brazil could not care less about Linux.
The reason for that (IMHO) is that old rivalry between IBM Brazil and
the IBM Centers at RTP (Raleigh mostly). Since IBM RTP started working
seriously on and with Linux, people from IBM Brazil started trying to
ignore it. The reasons for the rivalry are old and rechanted in many
places but since I left IBM I really don't follow it anymore. So,
even tho unlikely, they might have ended their differences and the
rivalry is no more. Then again ... :)
