			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been three years working at <a title="Emergya (Spanish website)" href="http://www.emergya.es" target="_blank">Emergya</a>. I did the third year two weeks ago&#8230;. When I arrived we where 12 people (plus me) and I supposed to be there just for a month&#8230; <img src='http://blogs.gnome.org/juanje/wp-content/mu-plugins/tango-smilies/tango/face-raspberry.png' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Three years later I was still there&#8230; And now they are fifty people.</p>
<p><a title="Emergya (Spanish website)" href="http://www.emergya.es" target="_blank">Emergya</a> is a company about free software, full of young guys and girls (well, as at any IT company, much less girls and we would like, but&#8230;) with passion for the technology, good persons, good friends. They work on GNU/Linux distros (<a title="Guadalinex project's main site" href="http://www.guadalinex.org" target="_blank">Guadalinex</a> and much more), web applications (with zope/plone, Rails, java, Drupal and more), GIS applications (MapServis and more) and more interesting stuff.</p>
<p>So, nice people, working with and on free tools and projects in a very familiar and nice environment&#8230; in Seville (which is not Las Palmas, but still is nice place to live&#8230;)&#8230; I couldn&#8217;t say no to stay more than I&#8217;ve promised <img src='http://blogs.gnome.org/juanje/wp-content/mu-plugins/tango-smilies/tango/face-smile.png' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But three years is a very long time for me being in one place. Even if it&#8217;s so nice. So I decide to make some changes.</p>
<p>Actually, my work here didn&#8217;t let me so much time to update my knowledge, take care of personal stuff I&#8217;ve been leaving stopped for awhile and so.</p>
<p>But, I&#8217;m no leaving fullly the company. This is more a little (few weeks, maybe a month or so) break to take care of my own personal business.</p>
<p>One of the thing I like to do in this time is updating myself. I need to read and learn a lot stuff about the new (or not so new) GNOME and Freedesktop technologies (I feel so outdated&#8230;.). I&#8217;d like to code again. I miss that a lot.</p>
<p>But this is personal time, so health is one of my goals as well. Better food (cooked by myself instead of with rush in a bar close to the office&#8230;), good rest, some exercises, some checking at doctor. Stuff like that.</p>
<p>And I feel I need improve my English. I learn a lot when I was living in Dublin, but was more pub conversations what I learn than an appropriated speak for business or so.</p>
<p>Also my written English is so poor and I don&#8217;t feel comfortable enough (and I write soooo slow&#8230;) to chat with people by jabber or irc, which some times is necessary to collaborate on some projects.</p>
<p>I guess this is just matter of practise. Read more, write more, try, fail and learn <img src='http://blogs.gnome.org/juanje/wp-content/mu-plugins/tango-smilies/tango/face-smile.png' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I repeat, if someone read my posts and see something wrong or something sounds weird on my English, I will appreciate (so much) to teach me my errors and mistakes.</p>
<p>By the way&#8230; <a href="http://www.fosdem.org"><img title="Im going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers European Meeting" src="http://www.fosdem.org/promo/going-to" alt="Im going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers European Meeting" width="150" height="89" /></a></p>
<p>I hope see good hacker and friends over there <img src='http://blogs.gnome.org/juanje/wp-content/mu-plugins/tango-smilies/tango/face-smile.png' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  And meet more interesting people.</p>
<p>See you there guys! <img src='http://blogs.gnome.org/juanje/wp-content/mu-plugins/tango-smilies/tango/face-smile.png' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
