Como yo...
Tour Parquesoft Perú 2007
Me tomo unos minutos para dar a conocer este tema, que considero importante.
Este 20 y 21 de julio se realizará el primer tour parquesoft en Perú.
Parquesoft, es una iniciativa colombiana que viene teniendo
mucho éxito en hacer que los jóvenes puedan desarrollar esta creatividad
e innovación es un espacio con las condiciones adecuadas para ello.
Muchas veces, cuando jóvenes, tenemos muchas ideas y empeño por realizar
y trabajar en las cosas que nos apasionan, durante el camino nos vemos
frustrados por la situación, por las condiciones económicas, por la falta
de experiencia, entre otras.
Quisiera invitar a todos los que tienen la idea de hacer empresa, de desarrollar tecnología, de hacer cosas creativas; en especial a los que desean incursionar en el mundo del software o computación a participar de este evento. Les aseguro que va a ser una gran experiencia en su vida profesional (no, no se van a convertir a una religión), pero algo va a cambiar. A continuación más detalles del evento.
PARQUESOFT NATION es una organización colombiana que alberga a más de 300
empresas especializadas en la Industrias del Conocimiento, donde trabajan
más de mil profesionales Desarrolladores de Software especializados en los
últimos paradigmas de Tecnología de la Industria y otros centenares apoyando
los procesos de servicios profesionales, administración y desarrollo de negocios.
El 20 y 21 de julio participarán 800 jóvenes seleccionados de las distintas regiones del país en el primer TOUR PARQUESOFT PERU 2007 a desarrollarse en las instalaciones de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.
EMPODERADOS, empresa de PARQUESOFT tendrá a su cargo el desarrollo del taller. Ellos cuentan con una basta experiencia en procesos de articulación de los jóvenes con los escenarios sociales y con las oportunidades de su entorno, por medio de la generación de competencias de desarrollo personal que les permitan incluirse en sus sistemas locales y generar un empoderamiento personal.

debconf7 and usbmgr
It's the time of the year I feel a bit nostalgic since for the second, consecutive, time since 2004 I'm not at debconf. This time I've decided so, since I'm currently focused on develop my academic profile trying to catch-up this unfinished business I wanted to pursue sometime ago when I was younger. By May, things were quite on-schedule so I decided to drop this trip, since I didn't wanted to be involved in another unfortunate situation due time contraints, now even more constrained by my new responsibilities in life.
I've tried to follow the conf over the stream since yesterday, but I felt asleep by 1am (8am there). However, as video team previously announced, by 17's night I went to the meetings arhive and downloaded Bdale's talk. I was impressed by the quality and professionalism of the video and the on-time (or time-to-market, aka me) publising. I want to congratulate the video team for this, very good work guys!. It's the second time I follow the conf over the stream and it helps to the being-there feeling.
Anyway, I'm already arranging stuff and scheduling the time for debconf8 in Argentina. Hopefully I'm able to skip some days of class. I believe it would be a wonderful time, I also plan to visit my family there also. So, see you next year!.
Now the usbmgr package. I have quite a feeling for this package (you might guess this knowing there were more mature options available since a couple of years ago). This was the first package I was in charge in Debian, and as popcon says there are still some users. However, things come to an end and I decided, as previously prepared and stated to some users, to orphan it post-etch.
Now that the time has come, I'll do so and request its removal from the archive also in
the following days. There are more mature options such the udev+hald mix and they support
much more devices and give the user much more pleasant experience. usbmgr is a piece
of software that was written when there was no good/integrated support for USB devices,
specially pendrivers and memory sticks. There's no activity on upstream from long time
ago, in fact I never was able to reach him, but I was trying to keep it useful for
new software environments from time to time.
In case you still want to keep or maintain it, please drop me an email: rudy at d.o.
One Pencil Per Classroom
Imagine that writing has just been invented in Foobar, a country that has managed to develop a highly sophisticated culture of poetry, philosophy and science using entirely oral means of expression. It occurs to imaginative educators that the new technology of pencils, paper and printing could have a beneficial effect on the schools of the country.
Many suggestions are made. The most radical is to provide all teachers and children with pencils, paper and books and suspend regular classes for six months while everyone learns the new art of reading and writing. The more cautious plans propose starting slowly and seeing how "pencil-learning" works on a small scale before doing anything really drastic. In the end, Foobarian politicians being what they are, a cautious plan is announced with radical fanfare: Within four years a pencil and a pad of paper will be placed in every single classroom of the country so that every child, rich or poor, will have access to the new knowledge technology.
Meantime the educational psychologists stand by to measure the impact of pencils on learning.
