Install Fest and multimedia workshops with Free Software are among the activities with the FISL label
In the video, the Install Fest promoted by the Software Livre.Org Association in the first edition of Conexões Globais.
From Thursday to Saturday (May, 23 to 25), the Casa de Cultura Mario Quintana, in Porto Alegre, will host the second edition of the
Conexões Globais, an event that bridges conferences with free culture and democracy 2.0 activists to educational and cultural activities.
During three days, major digital culture thinkers and activists from many countries will be gathered - either physically and remotely - around themes such as democracy in the 21st century, new technologies, education, right to communication, internet freedom and new ways to mobilize, among other discussions.
Ronaldo Lemos (Overmundo website creator and Creative Commons Brasil coordinator), Natália Viana (Agência Pública de Jornalismo founder), Peter Sunde (The Pirate Bay Founder), Javier Toret (cyberactivist, spanish movement 15M), Gustavo Anitelli (producer of the band O Teatro Mágico and Movement MPB - Música Para Baixar) are among the confirmed names. The programme also has shows and workshops.
FISL couldn't be absent to an event built collaboratively. Besides participation in the collaborative press coverage, with participation of the Free Software Radio as the Official Radio, the communication team will offer workshops about Video Editing and Banners Creation, with Free Software. But collaboration does not stop there.
Our meeting point is the Install Fest
From 2:00PM to 6:00PM, May, 24 and 25, Rodrigo Troian, Coordinator of FISL Programme Workgroup, will be hosting, together with educator Paulo Bertazzo and other activists, an Install Fest. For those unfamiliar, the GNU/Linux operating systems installation festivals are a tradition in the community. In these informal meetings, advanced GNU/Linux users offer orientation about using open and free operating systems, and also installation of free OS and programs in personal computers. It is even possible to install a GNU/Linux system just for trial, without removing previous systems in the machine.
The event will happen at the Jardim Lutzemberg, CCMQ's 5th floor, and those in town can't loose it! It is open to curious people, begginers and intermediate level users - and also for those wishing to better understand what it is all about Free Software - the Install Fest will be a preview for the largest Free Software community meeting in the galaxy, that will happen July, from 3 to 6 at the PUCRS Center of Events. Don't even need to say which one is it, right?
