Nobody had bet for us at the beginning of this season, even though i had a special feeling about this year. This could be my last season in the highest level of Galicia’s hockey league and i was strongly decided to work hard to achieve the best classification. There was several powerful teams (HC Liceo, A.C Ordenes, Domincos HC, …), all of them designed always to win, and sometimes, hring professional players.
Everybody in my team (H.C. Borbolla) was just thinking in enjoy playing hockey. However, we won almost every match during the first round. We only lost against H.C. Liceo, the best team in my opinion, with some very young player from Argentina and Portugal (the son of Jose Querido, the HC. Liceo Vodafone coach). This first position in the general classification makes us to start dreaming was possible.
Only the champion of Galicia’s hockey league would have access to the “Fase de Ascenso” tournament, which gets access to the 1º National division (the first professional hockey league in Spain, just under the highest category). We had an advantage of 5 points at the last two matches of this season. The 20 of April of 2008, H.C. Borbolla won his first Galicia’s hockey championship.
Two weeks after the Galcia’s championship, we attended “Fase de Ascenso” tournament. There was also three teams more: R.S.T. La Magdalena de Santander, FM Oviedo Roller, Siena Oberena Pamplona. The FM Oviedo Roller was the best team, formed with professional players hired from the “Division de Honor” league and of course, they were playing at home.
Finally, we lost the three matches 
but we fought like lions.
It was a great experience about personal effort to improve every day, team cooperation and strong competition.

I joined Borbolla hockey club several years ago, mainly to play my last years of semi-professional hockey. Its a very modest club, without money enough to pay for players (like other clubs), or material and sport equipment. I’ve been recruit players, who wants only to enjoy sport and not only competition.
After several years, i think we achieve to form a very good team, very funny and not too serious but with a lot of talent. Now, this weekend we played a very important match against the first classified, We won the first match and we arrived separated only for two points, so it seemed a very hard match, and for sure it was. We won 2-3 in Ordenes court (noticia).
After this victory, we are first in general classification with a lot of chances of gain regional competition and get access to promotion tournament in Pamplona. The winner of this tournament will get access to 1ª (national) division.

I recently was in the Guadec conferences at Vilanova to present the Fisterra development platform as a first try to build an open architecture to build business management applications (ERP). I knew this is a few popular kind of project inside GNOME roadmap and i would like to summarise my experiences during this conference.
The conclusions about this subject can be described in the following list :
- There is a low interesting about this kind of applications by the GNOME community.
- The GNOME project is focused to improve the GNOME desktop , making special efforts to build new multimedia applications and to optimise the performance of all GNOME technologies.
- There are a few projects oriented to this kind of applications like Glom, Stock, Gapzacho, Kiwi.
- There isn’t a open architecture proposal for business management applications.
- The GNOME community does not takes into account the business wok environment as target of future developments.
These are only a few ideas and personal experiences extracted from my first Guadec conference. I would like to discuss about them in this blog, show my efforts to change the current situation and notice the importance of business management software to increase the GNOME desktop implantations.
