FUDCon Santiago: Day #3
20/07/10
I know this is coming a lot late but we had some problems with the Internet at the hotel in Santiago. Anyway, the last day of FUDCon had interesting talks by Toshio Kuratomi and Domingo Becker, two of our rock stars, as Toshio himself likes to say.
I gave a talk about how internationalization works and how we can make it better on Fedora. I tried to explain it from the developer level until the user level. Some guys got surprised by the huge amount of work it takes to internationalize and localize a piece of software.
At the closing talk everyone watched to a thrilling speech of the new Fedora Project Leader, Jared Smith. After that we took a lot of pictures and celebrated one more FUDCon in Latin America!
Muchas Gracias Chile!
FUDCon Santiago: Day #2
20/07/10
The day started with three interesting talks: “Joining Fedora Infrastructure” by Dennis Gilmore, “Monkey, the next generation Web Server” by Eduardo Silva and “RPM packaging lessons” by Gomix and Daniel Bruno.
After all talks we got together to discuss Fedora organization in Latin America. Although it was a bit messy and noisy that was a good opportunity to clarify the needs of the region and define some points we should work on. They include trying to prepare the FUDCon LATAM earlier and also trying to do a BarCamp in the next one and see how it goes with the Latin America audience.
FUDCon Santiago: Day #1
15/07/10
We got FUDCon started today here in Chile after a lot of months of hard work. The cold weather (at least for Brazilians) didn’t prevent us from have a nice time. Today we already had a lot of talks about all kind of subjects like GNOME 3, LATAM infrastructure, Inkscape and many more.
My first talk was about Fedora’s spins and remixes. I have never talked Spanish for that long and it has been a good opportunity to practice. I guess the audience got it right and I was able to reply the questions properly. You might want to take a look at the slides if you are able to read in Spanish. Also, it was great to meet the new Fedora Project Leader, Jared Smith.

Tomorrow Dennis Gilmore will give a talk about how to join Fedora Infrastructure and Daniel and Guillermo will talk about RPM packaging. Those are just the first talks, we will have a lot more! Give a look at the event wiki page for further information.
Gracias!
FUDCon: Fedora’s World Cup
07/07/10
The World Cup isn’t over yet, but since Brazil is already out I expect Spain to be the champion. Random guesses apart, while the most important soccer tournament is still happening in South Africa I’m preparing myself for another event that will take place in Santiago, Chile. Next week the Fedora Project will be hosting the second Fedora Users and Developers Conference in Latin America. The first one took place in Porto Alegre, Brazil last year and I was there too.
This year we will have the presence of the new Fedora Project Leader, Jared Smith, and also interesting sessions from Toshio Kuratomi, Dennis Gilmore, Daniel Bruno. Jayme Ayres, Rodrigo Padula, Domingo Becker and many more folks from Fedora.
I will be holding a technical session about spins and remixes in Fedora, and also a hackfest regarding internationalization and localization quality assurance. It will be a good opportunity to meet some friends I haven’t seen for a while and also a great opportunity to create something good for Fedora. This is our own World Cup and Open Source is the big winner.
