Software Freedom Day Sep. 17th 2011
13 de Setembro de 2011, 20:31 - sem comentários aindaSoftware Freedom Day is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business — in short, everywhere! The non-profit organization 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.

Alexei Vladishev's Zabbix Creator Course 2011 at Porto Alegre
Alexei Vladishev, creator of Zabbix monitoring tool, CEO of Zabbix SIA, was a keynote speaker at FISL 12, held at Porto Alegre, June 29th through July 2nd 2011, and extended his stay the following week, giving 2 courses: Zabbix Certified Specialist and Zabbix for Large Environments, and I took both. It’s something else learning from the developer himself. And Alexei is good in passing on his knowledge. One thing that caught my attention is Alexei’s commitment to keeping it FOSS, and not rely on non-free software, and depend the least on other software.
II São Paulo Perl Workshop, I Was There!

Larry Wall (and wife Gloria), creator of Perl language, speaker at II São Paulo Perl Workshop, on May, 7th 2011.
I had the opportunity to participate of the II São Paulo Perl Workshop. It was a unique occasion to meet key people of Free Software and Perl gurus, Larry Wall, brian d foy and Brad Fitzpatrick. On the brazillian team of speakers were Alexei “Russo” Znamensky, Rodrigo Campos, André Garcia, Thiago Rondon, Vagner Diniz e Eden Cardim.
Brad started the event, presenting his project Camlistore, a layered storage for local/cloud C.A.S. objects. Brian presented Perl’s development infrastructure surrounding CPAN, revigorating for all current and future contributors.
Larry made a brilliant and humored presentation comprehending Perl’s history, philosophy and culture, passing through Perl 6 basics and current status. Larry is a gifted human being, not only technically skilled, but has a witty and humored personality, a keen eye on human aspects of technology. He is someone not scared nor distant of people. And a unexpected bonus, at least for me, Larry’s wife, Gloria! She is an extrovert and happy person, sure a good match for Mr. Larry. Some “Perl’s First Lady”.

A grand finale was awaiting us, when Larry picked his autograph hungry fan’s kit, 2 stamps for enhenced autograph experience, one a “Programming Perl“‘s camel and the other with Perl’s motte “There’s More Than One Way to Do It!“. Got camel?
