GNOMEs in Chile

Posted on March 1, 2010 by diegoe

Update March 1st, 24 UTC: Reynaldo Verdejo is ok, the list is complete!

Update March 1st, 16 UTC: Alejandro Valdés, Fabián Arias, Carlos Ríos Vera and Germán Póo-Caamaño have been in contact with others in Chile. 🙂

Probably by now some of you know or are worried about the situation in Chile. I’m not chilean nor in Chile but I’ve been following closely due to the considerable number of good friends I have there, most of them related to GNOME.

    You can add Adrien Bustany to that list. He’s a French student working in Chile. He contributes to Tracker.

    Found, he even has Internet access and electricity and is working hard already on the web miners for Tracker.

    I don’t think Claudio’s reply is necessary here.
