GUADEC/aKademy 2009 in Gran Canaria

I have spent some nice days in GUADEC in Istanbul. This year i was not giving a talk but i have the emotion of the bid we presented for hosting GUADEC in 2009. After attending to a lot of interesting talks yesterday the GNOME Foundation announced that next year GUADEC will be co-located with aKademy in Gran Canaria.

I’ve never been to Gran Canaria, but a have a special relation with the Canary Islands. If you check my weblog header it is me with the Teide like background. I have been 5 times in Tenerife and visited La Palma and La Gomera. i have felt in love with these Islands, each one is different with a special charm. I have been waiting for an occasion to go to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura so next year i have an excuse and i know that Alberto will be a really nice host in Gran Canaria.

At this point i can only say that GNOME Hispano will give all the possible support that we can provide to Alberto and the rest organizers for organizing GUADEC next year, we have had a great commitment in the organization of GUADEC in Vilanova two years ago, so we have the experience needed for helping them as an active part in the organization.

So as i told Alberto i will try to help him about any request and advise he needs. I would like that GNOME community continue wanting to come back to Spain when it is possible, so that we can convince them to come to Galicia in future editions 🙂

Now we should think about a new proposal for organizing an innovative event in Coruña next year but we should think about this in GPUL because we are celebrating our tenth anniversary.

P.D. I hope that all students of the Master on Free Software of Caixanova are working hard while i am “working” in Istanbul.

Esta Semana: Alberto Abella y Marcelo Branco

El fin de semana pasado en el Máster en Software Libre de Caixanova cruzamos el ecuador del curso académico. Esta semana para celebrarlo contaremos con invitados de la talla de Alberto Abella y Marcelo D’Elia Branco, que impartirán un seminario en las instalaciones de Caixanova para los alumnos.

Pero como entre los objetivos iniciales del máster estaba la realización de charlas abiertas al público, desde Caixanova se ha facilitado la presencia esta semana de Alberto Abella y Macelo D’Elia Branco como una colaboración en las VIII Jornadas de Software Libre organizadas por GPUL que celebra este año su décimo aniversario.
Así que os invito a todos a conocer en persona a dos actores relevantes que nos contarán de primera mano sus experiencias y reflexiones este jueves y viernes en el Aula de Grados de la Facultade de Informática dentro de las Jornadas de Software Libre de GPUL, así como del resto de las jornadas que continúan la próxima semana.

  • Alberto Abella, “El futuro de las tecnologías abiertas”, jueves 10 de abril 2008, 19:30 Aula de Grados.
  • Marcelo D’Elia Branco,<strong> </strong>“Sociedad en red: desafíos para la construcción de un modelo social democrático”,viernes 11 de abril 2008, 19:00 Aula de Grados.</li> </ul> <p><img decoding="async" alt="Alberto Abella, CC-BY-SA-NC by wicho" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/69/189301587_009fee51d1_m.jpg" /><img decoding="async" style="width: 241px;height: 160px" alt="Marcelo D'Elia Branco" src="http://blogs.igalia.com/chema/files/2008/04/minimarcelo.png" /></p> <p>Por cierto, ya se puede consultar el Planeta que agrega los blogs de los alumnos del máster y poder seguir su trabajo y reflexiones personales.

Finally the best result in their study was Ubuntu over Fedora, OpenSuse and PCLinux.

The master will be organized by Caixanova in collaboration with the <a href="http://libresoft.urjc.es/index">GSyC/Libresoft group</a> from the <a href="http://www.urjc.es">University Rey Juan Carlos</a> and <a href="http://www.igalia.com">Igalia</a>.</p> <p>The main objective we will deal with this Master is to improve the knowledge about Free Software on recent graduates in technical engineering. Per example, the ordinary studies in Computer Science have a great lack of formation about how the projects and communities of free software are, so there are not many just graduate engineers with any kind of specialisation. And if a student knows anything about free software it was caused because its curiosity during his free time.</p> <p>Nowadays enterprises and institutions are really interested in professionals with advanced skills on hacking free software projects. Thanks to Caixanova we will have the opportunity to have a master in A Coruña with the support of a great committee of advisors.</p> <p>As you can see, the <a href="http://www.centrosocialcaixanova.com/nt/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=78">academic program</a> has six main subjects: “Free Software Introduction”, “Dynamics of the Free Software Communities”, “Free Software Development”, “Quality on Free Software Development”, “Systems Integration with Free Software” and “Detailed Technical Studies of Free Software Projects”. There will be also a Master Thesis, a Practicum and the participation in different seminars and conferences.</p> <p>Don’t hesitate to ask us any question you have about this.</p> </div><!--
