Jonas Jakštys

I am a long time contributor to GCompris as a translator as well as a voice actor of the Lithuanian language. I am finishing high school this year. I am dipping into open source, but still see lots to learn.

Alongside I am singing (solo) and play the accordion (solo and in a band). I casually participate in orienteering competitions, and sometimes create maps for them. I also teach kids orienteering. Talk to me about performing or making music, GiS and outdoor sports!
