This is a weird photography experiment that has been in my head for the past week. I do like to base pictures on songs, is really inspiring, but I tried to take it a step beyond and do a full song. Some pics will repeat. Check the video here: May Your Hearts Stay Strong – Cloud Cult (Vimeo Link) If you want to see any of the pictures just click on them. But I would apreciate if you leave a comment on flickr. Thank yo ufor watching :) Flickr Gallery for “May your hearts stay strong” photo project

One of the things that always make me feel happy when friends ask me “why are you part of Fedora” is that everyday you will find a great idea, a great project or an awesome team to be part of. When we change our status from “user” to “contributor”, we agree to teach what we know and try to make FOSS tools and strategies go further. So now let me tell you about our new project… Fedora Videos: What is Fedora Videos? Our contributor Nitesh Narayan Lal came up with an idea to create a serie of videos and give our users an interface to check them on an easier way. We could say that we want to teach fedora  [ Read More ]

El cáncer es una de las principales causas de mortalidad en todo el mundo. La OMS calcula que, de no mediar intervención alguna, 84 millones de personas morirán de cáncer entre 2005 y 2015.

La prevención del cáncer y el aumento de la calidad de vida de los enfermos son temas recurrentes. Hay más de cien tipos de cáncer; cualquier parte del organismo puede verse afectada.

I always love to see how an idea become something real and how people envolved work as a team to acomplish each goal. Fedora is the kind of place where you want to hang out if you want to be part of something :) This week was full of tasks. We had our first meeting, which was really productive, and we delegate most of the tasks. That’s the way to work as team, however, we need to be more open and inform the rest of what we are doing, so our task don’t  [ Read More ]

Flights from South America to Europe are really expensive. My crazy… Crazy friend Sirko (gnokii) created a donations page, where people can make donations. If I have helped you once, so maybe you can help me this time. :)  [ Read More ]

I think this 4 words can resume pretty much what’s FOSS about. A couple of months ago I had a small shutdown from linux communities since *real life* was going on, and with some friends help, I tried to figure out *why* we do what we do. Talking and giving a meaning to every action we take on this online world this 4 words got to resume everything. Why?: Learn: There is NO WAY you can be on ANY FOSS community or group if you are not willing to learn. Life itself is a learning journey that will take you to unknown places where you might get amazed. Some people join FOSS communities thinking that know everything, but soon they  [ Read More ]
