Hello,
After a bit of travelling around, it's time to post here a short resume
of what happened in the last couple of weeks:
- I've been giving a talk on oct, 24 at Net User 2 conference in Sofia
(www.netuser.cc) with this details:
Title:
Libre software and Debian-NP
Subtitle:
Creating a better world for people who create a better world so that
they can better create a better world.
Contents:
This lecture will show how to turn the audience into free software
developers, it will show how to use this new fantastic status to
radically turn the world into that fantastic place that everyone
has always dreamed to live in, and it will especially show how
italian hum= or is so different from bulgarian humor that it can
lead to the murder of an italian lecturer.
In the talk I covered, among other things, what Debian is and how it
has become a huge universe of instruments one can use to build his
own tools, then talked about Debian-NP as an example of a possible
way to make the world better using IT and exploiting the tools
already available.
The talk has had positive feedback and in the next days I'll be
putting my slides and notes online.
- I've been interviewed on oct, 23 at Radio France Internationale
Bulgaria (www.rfi.bg) on the same topics. I can't tell precisely the
questions and my impressions because the interview was in Bulgarian,
with the questions translated to English, answered in English and
then translated in Bulgarian, and I'm Italian. The only things I can
recall is that the radio studio was very nice and that people was
very happy about the interview :)
- I've been giving another talk at a meeting organized at CIES, Rome,
in preparation of the World Summit on Information Society, with the
goal of making journalists informed of what "other" interesting
things are going on wrt IT.
My talk was called "Come se niente fosse, piccolo studio di una
rivoluzione silenziosa" (As if nothing is happening, small study of a
silent revolution) and talked about potentials of free software and
open formats and what is the situation now, including Debian as an
example of huge, self-organized and incredibly effective community,
and mentioning some custom debians like SkoleLinux, Debian-NP,
Knoppix and Morphix.
This talk also has positive feedback. Slides and notes will also be
online, but they'll be in Italian.
- I'll be at the European Social Forum in Paris. This is a nice
opportunity to mention Debian-NP, but so far I'm not supposed to give
any specific talks.
If someone wants to arrange something about Debian-NP with the people
of the FSE/ESF, I'll be happy to prepare a talk/seminar/workshop/whatever.
If other people will be at the FSE/ESF, it'd be great to meet there!
Ciao,
Enrico
