The 7th of July of 2010 will definitely be a date to remember for the Latin American community of Chamilo. Chamilo P@rty only lasted 2h30, yet we had time to discuss open-source tools to manage the education process (by Yannick Warnier, Director, BeezNest) [slides] present the challenges we face everyday in e-learning (by Sergio Correa, […]
I will be presenting Chamilo and our intention to make a Chamilo package for Ubuntu this year at the Ubuntu Developers Summit in Brussels, on Friday 14th of May (at the beginning of the afternoon). As a side gift, I will be meeting Jono Bacon (writer of “The Art of Community” and Mark Shuttleworth, the […]
Before I forget all about it, I want to make a note of what happened, what was good and what could be improved for the PHP Day event we organized jointly with Mobile Bridges, another software development company in Lima. The schedule was the following (translated to English for the purpose of this article): 5.00-5.10pm: […]
If you are a free software activist like me and want people you expose free software to in conference, large meetings and other gatherings like that (preferably developer-oriented) to understand what the value of free software is, here is a game proposal for you to try out (please report on the success of this method […]

If you’re a fan of Dokeos and plan to head to South America during the next few days, then you definitely want to get to DOKUDA, the 25th and 26th of June 2009. We’ve been preparing the event for about a month now, and should get about 500 different people every day, over a two-days […]
There’s a nice exhibition of survey results here that detail why people go to conferences. As we’re preparing more and more actively the Dokeos Users Days America 2009 (25th and 26th of June), we’re starting to get a little bit more nervous and start looking into a lot of information.
I just ended my talk at the Geneva Dokeos Users Day 2008, talking about Dokeos 1.8.6 and the future of Dokeos. I’m listening to Eric here http://collab.switch.ch/dokeosday/ for what will be his last speech for Dokeos.
I’m leaving in just a few minutes from now for the airport, to go to Colombia for 2 important conferences. One about freedom of knowledge, another about Ubuntu in Colombia. This is the second trip Dokeos makes (officially) outside of Perú this year to hold conferences or provide training. The first one was in Guatemala […]
Dokeos Latinoamérica will be represented by Julio in Guatemala this week, for an intensive one-week Dokeos training to a Guatemaltec university. Considering the urgent need of this client, we had to rush a visa request at the embassy of Guatemala in Lima on Friday, and Julio left on Sunday morning, getting over there in the […]
Tomorrow night I will be giving a speech about Dokeos and the e-learning in Peru to about 450 to 500 teachers and school directors. This is my biggest audience ever, and I must admit I’m a bit stressed (it’s like being a star, really… 500 people is almost an opera audience). This will happen in […]
As I was in Cusco the other week to hold a few speeches at a 3 days conference, I took the opportunity to go to Machu Picchu. This time, I managed to walk to the Intipunku (la Puerta del Sol, The Sun Gate) and take a picture from there, wearing my wonderful – but old […]
