Congreso del Conocimiento Libre día tres

Many talks about open source and free software around this UTP event, experience was great sharing with teacher and students words about Fedora, today was the chance to ear about Panamanian government free software plans.

AIG (Authority Innovation  Government by its acronym) talk was given by Ing. Eduardo Briceño, we learn about some plans to use free software on local government, on some source of OLPC project and medical care government agencies, it seem to me that they have a plan and lots of words about it, hope it does not end as another great idea.
 

We can see UTP crawl into free software, hope we can see them walking to it soon, a mayor change have to be done into this direction that have to involve all faculties.

The day has many talks, the honor guest was Michael “Monty” Widenius who talk about Open Source, Mysql database and his new project MariaDB, people enjoy his words and knowledge. 

After all his talks Monty spend some time with the member of community where we ask different questions about MariaDB. One thing call my attention is his interest to have MariaDB in all Linux distributions. We talk a bit about how and what he is working to get MariaDB on Fedora.

Fedora 14 (Laughlin) Beta

Well, as always could not wait until Fedora 14 release, after a test PreUpgrade that when flawless on my test machine, now Fedora 14 rules my main notebook a Sony Vaio. It still on beta but seem like another Rock Solid Fedora release, even that have not play much with it all my favourite applications runs great.

Evolution has been my email client since I started to use Linux on my desktop this new version looks great.


Open Office 3.3 new splash look really nice, will to see what happens now that there is LibreOffice foundation and we like to support it, so my guest is that will see LibreOffice on Fedora 15 unless Oracle release the Open Office name.

PreUpgrade did a great job moving my Fedora 13 to Fedora 14, no errors, just waiting to complete the download reboot waiting for the upgrade process to end and the next reboot was Fedora 14, with all my stuff as it was on Fedora 13.
