Día del Software Libre 08

pedro — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:13:31 +0000

Around this time of the year the Sofware Freedom Day is celebrated this year the Saturday 20 of September and well that’s a pretty bad date for us in Chile since we celebrate our Fiestas Patrias (aka 18) so this year in Chile at least the Sofware Freedom day is going to be hold the Saturday 27 of September, I was invited to the lovely city of Curicó i have a bunch of friends in that city and i was there last year also for the same event, Curicó isn’t too far away from Santiago just an hour and a half in train so my friend if you’re planning to go from Santiago to there, drop me an email so we can travel together

A la vuelta de la esquina!

Yes, I’m going to GUADEC this year, I’m very happy about it and I hope to see a lot of friends there, ok I’ve seen a couple of them during the last Ubuntu Developer Summit at Prague but it’s always great to get together more often to talk, discuss and have a lot of fun, see you guys there!.

Spammers

Claudio I’ve received the same SPAM from GNUCHILE a couple of days ago, mail in question is available here , if you look to the link at the bottom of it there’s something like “Si desea bloquear su correo para no recibir avisos de ningun tipo, haga click aqui” (If you want to block your email address in order to not receive any news, click here), I was looking to the page and there’s no way to “unsubscribe” your email from that “list” and well i didn’t even subscribe to it in the first place. I have to say that I’m really really disappointed on how the GNUCHILE guys are working, they don’t seem to understand anything. Anyways, can you please stop doing this kind of things? And please unsubscribe me of the cute list of emails to be spammed, kthxbye.

Update: Oscar Valenzuela (Director of GNUCHILE) blogged about it here. They still don’t get it.

5 al día

pedro — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:24:39 +0000

If you read Planet Ubuntu you’ll see a few posts about “5″, the 5 a day initiative it’s a really way to start contributing to Ubuntu and the Free Software in general and I’ve always had the impression that some of GNOME related packages (ie: Anjuta, Banshee, Beagle, etc) at Universe aren’t getting a lot of their bugs triaged, that’s why since a few day ago I’ve started to do “5 a day” on them and I hope to have them in a good state in the short term. By the way as commented on my previous pos t I’ll be around Lima at the end of next week and it seems to be the perfect time to start doing some 5 with the local people, if you’re interested on it just come by the conference place and let’s do some 5 together!.

Get Involved!

pedro — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:57:53 +0000

Involucrate (Get Involved) that’s the name of the Peruvian conference I’m going next week, Diego Escalante Urrelo invited me to give a couple of talks, as the conference name says it’s a really good place where to talk to people and get more involded on Free Software projects, If you’re close to Lima those days you *have* to go, It’ll be really great

Thanks a *LOT* to the GNOME Foundation for sponsoring the event (my flight included)
