Community Interview with canana

Hello everyone. This is my first community interview and my first guest is canana. I don't have to speck much about him, as he's one of those names at GS who are familiar to many. To some he's a great leader (specially at sector 7), to some he's an active community person/blogger and to many he's a good friend. I'm really glad that he's agreed to do this interview with me…so I won't keep you guys waiting for more form cananas' life :)
