On April 28, we celebrated in the best way the Latin American Free Software Installation Festival (FLISoL) in Bogotá. FLISoL is the biggest event for the dissemination of Free Software in Latin America in which more than 20 countries together around 240 events recorded for this 2018 In Bogota part will take place in theFundación Tecnológica Autónoma de Bogotá FABA (Carrera 14 N° 80 – 35) from 9 a. m. Saturday April 28 this year with free entry. The Flisol Bogotá 2018, is one of the largest in Latin America with the largest number of attendees.

The Latin American Festival of Installation of Free Software is designed for students, academics, businessmen, workers, civil servants, enthusiasts and the general public to raise awareness of our philosophy, scope, progress and development around Free Software, and share these citizens using ICT freedoms and opportunities that this provides. In Colombia it is the 14th time it is held in Bogota since 2005.

On this occasion, the festival allowed us to observe that free culture, beyond being a space for the installation of software distributions, operating systems (Linux) or programs that promote the opening of the Internet and the empowerment of people with respect to technology, is a form to contribute and build societies.

There were more than 1,600 people who participated in more than 90 activities that included lectures, workshops, panels, spaces for children -FLISoL Kids-, a cinema of free culture, music, origami and much more.

We had two international speakers of whom we are very grateful to have shared this wonderful experience: Nuritzi Sanchez President, Board of Directors at GNOME Foundation; Founding Member, Ecosystem Team Manager at Endless and Jorge Luis Batista Automatic engineer, Cuban enthusiast of Open Street Map.

We greatly appreciate the support provided by the International Community of Ubuntu and also the Canonical team for making this possible, and we look forward to continue helping in Colombia more and more in the future.

(applies to 64-bit systems) in the case of Ubuntu 32 Bits https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Installing_upstream_kernels

mkdir kernel4
cd kernel4
wget wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.0.1-vivid/linux-headers-4.0.1-040001_4.0.1-040001.201504290935_all.deb

Several years ago did not write them, I was working on many things, but I’m back! Soon I will publish new post about Ubuntu and novelties. You can see the news from my website at: http://www.jhosman.com/en

As a bonus track, Ubuntu will sponsor Flisol Bogotá 2015. We are grateful to the community! http://www.flisolbogota.org

In Bogotá, is developing the ICT Month, one of the technological inclusion plans of Mayor Gustavo Petro, and with the support of the Local Mayor Antonio Nariño, we distribute materials (Copies of Saucy Salamander Ubuntu 13.10) for those who do not have the facility have copies.

Additionally give a reply of the conference “Development of mobile applications # UbuntuTouch” in tomorrow October 26, 2013 at the premises of the Mayor Antonio Nariño, more information on the ICT Week Local Municipality performs this in: http://www.bogota.gov.co/article/localidades/antonio%20narino/puente%20arandapPrográmese%20con%20la%20semana%20tic

Bogota is in the midst of a migration to Linux and free software. Mayor Gustavo Petro is leveraging the existing legal framework ( Agreement 279 of 2007 ), to advance the process of changing operating systems 992 personal computers.

The initiative has been successful in other cities such as Munich in Germany and saved about 11 million euros , or in countries like Iceland plans to migrate its infrastructure to the world of Penguin, is being launched in Bogotá.

According to public documents of the project , the 992 computers are part of the technological renewal that are subject to all public entities. A savings of almost 1000 licenses. The schedule includes customers transition to new mail, messenger clients and mail server. Moreover, the total cost of ownership reflects that invest in training future generating resource savings.

Ubuntu, the chosen

According Offray Luna, coordinator of the Free Software Office of Planning and Information Systems, will change to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with some modifications, to ease the transition from Windows users. “In the first instance to Ubuntu . While we distance ourselves from some of its practices, was the distribution that we provided a larger responsiveness according to the contractual terms already decided.

Moon added that made two customizations.

• The desktop environment, which is a variation of Gnome 3 according to instruments applied watching the ease of use for those coming from a Windows environment compared to other options such as Cinnamon, KDE and Mate. Environments also distanced extremely tied to Ubuntu, to facilitate migration to other platforms in the future.
• The mission and its support applications in the browser, which involved assessing and developing different user profiles in the browser with the tuning required.

Adieu Microsoft Office, wave LibreOffice

Perhaps the strongest change for officials and employees will welcome LibreOffice, productive package that will replace Microsoft Office. In other words Word, Excel and PowerPoint, will now be LibreOffice Writer, LibreOffice LibreOffice Calc and Impress. From now on the cards, balance sheets, presentations and general office all actions will also work with free software. However, productivity is proportional to acceptance and a good training process.

The advantages of the change

Worth remembering that beyond the savings in licensing, the real advantage and satisfaction of using free software in your philosophy. The free software community is the added benefit of using programs developed in society, and which by law can be studied, copied, modified and distributed without any cost. This means that the user at this time of Linux, for example , is receiving the support of hundreds of thousands of people who participated with their knowledge, not only of a handful of engineers payments for a single company.

Do they consider relevant and necessary change? Who of you use GNU / Linux and free software?

As we know we’re already two weeks to finalize the crowdfunding campaign for Edge http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge Ubuntu project which is very striking and ambitious, but as the graphs have shown a high impact is required at an angle of almost 45 ° in order to reach the goal, but it is very difficult, people are looking phones already ready, just be pay and have it at home, is the reality of the activity, but you are saying? We know that if the campaign succeeds, the money will be returned to the founders, but would not be pleased that Canonical and this ambitious project is off to the floor, is that Canonical has a card up his sleeve to save the project? Additionally you who suguieren to increase the numbers of the collection? Respond this post if you like.

In my case I can not pay all the phone as my bank does not give me much quota, if so and had given the money as founder. It really is a very expensive phone but very powerful, this same cost has a laptop, but people have not seen this, Ubuntu will be PC and Cell Edge and even beyond would (I think) the same functionality of a tablet. Also not to mention the Dual Boot Android.

In my case, I think, is that we must reach out to the end user with real and tangible demonstrations for them. In my country for example there is much fear of sending money and perhaps losing. Or not getting anything in return. It’s a lot for a common user equipment and looking for something more low I think. Not have in mind the super team that is Ubuntu Edge, really is the super SmartPhone future. You have to open the eyes of people otherwise.

Patrocinador comercial de Ubuntu es el objetivo de recaudar fondos para el desarrollo y la producción de un nuevo Ubuntu-marca móvil llamado #UbuntuEdge durante los próximos 30 días.

Ubuntu Edge será más que “sólo” un teléfono inteligente – que va a ser un ‘super-teléfono, lo suficientemente potente como para hacer doble como un PC tradicional cuando está conectado a un monitor externo. Esto, dicen Canonical, hará que sea “el primer dispositivo verdaderamente convergente del mundo ‘.

Pero primero $ 32 millones tiene que deberán reunirse en los próximos 30 días. Si se cumple este objetivo los teléfonos Ubuntu Edge se producirán en una edición limitada de producción de 40.000 e hizo disponible en mayo de 2014.

Especificaciones de Ubuntu Edge

Ubuntu Edge no habrá ningún ol ‘run-of-the-mill móvil. Canonical están elaborando un dispositivo de comunicación que es de alta costura, quieren fuera de Apple.

Las normas provisionales para ello cuenta con componentes de gama alta, algunos casi nunca se usan en los móviles de los consumidores.

• ‘Multi-core CPU’
• 4GB RAM
• 128GB SSD
• 4.5″ Sapphire Crystal screen (1280×720 HD resolution)
• Dual cameras (8mp rear, 2mp front)
• MHL connector (supporting HDMI)
• Long-life silicon anode battery
• Dual-LTE, NFC, Dual-band WiFi & Bluetooth 4
• GPS, Barometer, Compass, Proximity Sensor, Gyro, etc

Sabio OS Ubuntu Edge, tal vez lo más sorprendente que se arranque dual Ubuntu Touch y Android. Será capaz de alimentar una experiencia de escritorio Ubuntu completa en un monitor externo.

Video Promocional

El proyecto, en vivo por IndieGoGo, es el único mayor campaña de crowdfunding en la historia.

El Pebble smartwatch – hasta la fecha el más exitoso recaudador de fondos – tiene más de $ 10 millones de dólares en Kickstarter de 68.929 partidarios, muchos de los cuales eran promesas de más de $ 100. Canonical necesita 40.000 partidarios de “pre-compra” de un teléfono de 810 dólares para cumplir su objetivo.

Aunque la campaña no logra su objetivo aún podría ser útil al demostrar demanda. Si esto lo suficientemente alto como podría boya el interés de las compañías de telecomunicaciones más cautelosos y fabricantes de teléfonos.

Mark Shuttleworth concluye que inorder para hacer el futuro de la telefonía móvil convergente suceder que tendrán que “… romper todos los registros de crowdfunding historia.

“Pero si hay suficientes entusiastas que quieren lo último en rendimiento, almacenamiento, pantalla, batería y ancho de banda, Ubuntu Edge será el catalizador para la innovación impresionante, y una muestra del futuro del teléfono.”

You all know Google’s decision to close “Google Reader” and was not really any good alternative solution that would integrate with our Ubuntu desktop, all were applications or browser extensions but never generated a total integration with Ubuntu or Unity.

But by chance I found an application that integrates with Feedly, one of my favorite RSS readers, so we are installing.

In the Terminal:

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-webapps-feedly/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-feedly 

And restart your browser!

Support in Precise Pangolin 12.04.2, Quantal Quetzal 12.10, Raring Ringtail 13.04 and Saucy Salamander 13.10
