Ryan Bagueros

I am founder & CEO of North by South, an open source development company that provides businesses with access to the Latin American free software movement. Based in San Francisco and São Paulo (Brazil), North by South has a veteran team of technology architects and product managers based in San Francisco, backed up by a Developers Network of designers, front-end developers, programmers, sysadmins and engineers who come out of the open source movement in Latin America.

Governments in Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela and Paraguay have empowered the free software communities in their countries by embracing open source through broad public initiatives. Through these projects, thousands of free software enthusiasts have gained enterprise-level working experience while providing an example to the world of how free software can revolutionize society with open technology.
