This March 7th and 8th, as part of the involucrate.org project, Lima will host an international FLOSS event that for the first time gets together the real actors of its development.
involucrate+GNOME is the name of this event, and despite the name makes the topic clear, there will be participation of diverse other FLOSS projects.
Thanks to the support by the GNOME Foundation and our generous sponsors, this time we’ll have the presense of developers from GNOME (Chile, Colombia), Dokeos from Belgium and peruvians from projects like Debian, Ubuntu, PHP, FreeBSD, GNOME, among others.
The website has more details about the schedule and the speakers, whom will be eager to share their experience and knowledge about this wonderful experience of contributing to FLOSS. There will be time for BoFs and hack sessions.
The event will have Facultad de Ingenieria de Sistemas, Computo y Telecomunicaciones de la Universidad Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (Lima - Perú) as its venue.
Participation is free of charge, as long as you register yourself. We are waiting for you!
