Software Freedom Day Italy (Perugia)

September 10th, 2009 by

As last year FSUGitalia, with “Regione Umbria” support , and with the collaboration of ITC “A. Capitini – Vittorio Emanuele II” and  OSSpg (http://www.osspg.net ) is working to organize the Software Freedom Day.

sfd09_logo

Software Freedom Day (SFD) is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Our goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about of the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business — in short, everywhere! The non-profit company Software Freedom International coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities.

This year all the Italian openSUSE Ambassadors will be there:

Andrea Florio Italy Puglia, Brindisi Anubisg1
Mariano Iumiento Italy Roma Miumiento
Alexjan Carraturo Italy Milano, Arezzo Axjslack

We hope to see you there!

Workshop for BITA members

August 25th, 2009 by

I’ll be conducting a full day workshop organized by Baroda IT Association (BITA) on “Opportunities with Linux & Open Source Technology” for it’s members on Saturday, 29th August 2009.

Quoting from the circular sent out:

Friends, it is the time to click on current opportunities with Linux. As you would be knowing that the Higher Secondary School of Gujarat(India) Board Syllabus are now covering Linux, Open Source Technology, Open Office etc….Again, Government also believes and is promoting open source platform. It is high time to capture such business, and so this TECHNOLOGY should be well understood by the BITA Members.

Potential customer-base comprising of more than 5000 Schools, thousands of students, lots of home PCs – today and in near future, there will definitely be a lot of increase in the need of dual-platform in Computer systems. Are we ready for that?

We will be having hands-on sessions on openSUSE-Edu: Li-f-e (Linux for Education) distribution, participants will get to take home a copy too.

More information and participation form (if you are a BITA member) here.

Linuxtag 2009 in Berlin

June 29th, 2009 by

I’m back now from attending Linuxtag 2009 in Berlin. On Saturday I gave a presentation about openSUSE 11.2 and we had some good discussions about it.  I demoed WebYaST which will be an exciting addition to openSUSE.  WebYaST allows remote – and also local – administration of your system.  The participants of the talk mentioned also that  “zypper dup” to update from 11.1 to 11.2 is an important addition.

Btw. to learn more about openSUSE 11.2, check this wiki page which is regularly updated.

Adrian took some photos and uploaded them to the gallery.

It was great to see the momentum behind the education project, I talked a bit with Jan (and listened to his excellent talk) and Lars about it.

openSUSE Day (Chile): Awesome.

June 28th, 2009 by

And the day came. After a six hours trip on bus, and a few minutes of sleep I got to Santiago de Chile. Francisco Toha picked me up so we headed to Universidad Andres Bello for the openSUSE Day. Huge building and plenty of room for everyone. The event started almost on time. I followed the first talk, a bit hoping to have a decent internet connection so I could show a live SUSE Studio test drive. OK, that didn’t happen. The internet traffic ratio was too slow like waiting 59 minutes to build an JeOS appliance was nuts so that was definitely the low aspect of the talk.
Again, huge thanks to Zonker for all the support. openSUSE 11.1 DVDs and stickers were cool and all loved it. Also big thanks everyone from Geeko’s, specially Enrique Herrera, Jose Muñoz, and Francisco Toha. Statistic and evaluation have not been finished yet. Anyway, some pictures here:
