I took good note, still without being bloged

I will add here some comments about Free Software activities and note something about what people have learned. I will write the speaches given in Granada, Cordova, Oviedo, Malaga and Pamplona.

he people of Cordoba invited me to give a talk about Privacy and GPG, and another talk about BulmaGés with Tomeu Borrás of IGLUES.

Just the day before, since I had to pass by Granada before being in Cordova, they asked me to give the same speech there. I tested there one interesting idea.

In Granada I could not connect neither my PC nor other 2 that were close and there were no computers for the assistants because they were too many. Then I tried a variant of the speech that I have been thinking since some time ago. Instead of work with computers, I settled to speak on privacy in a round table way.

I commented some usual problems I know to them and they commented some others to me and between all we thought about solutions. Instead of the planed hour, we used two and a hafl hours. It could take more time, people were interested. It was my best speech ever about privacy.

Note for speechers: If you have an idea, prove it!

In Cordova, at the I Jornadas Temáticas de Software Libre de Córdoba (1'st Thematic Days of Free Software of Cordova) we had the same problem, too many assistants. That did not allowed to give my usual speech with PC's but, as you can imagine, I came enchanted from Granada, and I repeated the experience.

This time we used two hours. And if I was more normal, it would be more time too. XDD

I directly left Granada towards Oviedo to participate in the III Jornadas de Software Libre de Asturias (III the Days of Free Software of Asturias). I talked there about BulmaGés to a big number of assistants.

Note: If you show transparencies, they must be few and with many images, the important point here is what you say.

In Malaga, in the 2ª Jornadas Tecnológicas Andaluzas de Software Libre (2ª Technological Days Andalusian of Free Software ) I still enjoyed more. I could for the first time separately give talk of privacy and the GPG factory. Also I gave a chat about BulmaGés where I distributed for the first time the Elive that contains it.

I enjoyed that talk because I had dedicated some time to translate and work on PGP tools and the speech lasted one hour and a half and I explained more details than ever.

Note: Teach something useful that they has never heard. It's better if you are just going to publish it.

A last note on the LAN party in Pamplona: I was in the NavarParty II and I spoke of privacy and GPG and the BulmaGés project. There I commented the system of vote that was ordered to me to design in IGLUES.

Note: If you give a speech about a bussines managment program, you must keep an image of a proffessional man/woman, you aren't just someone that contibute to the soft.

Someone commented it to me and the truth is that I took good note ; -)
