Canonical has never been supportive of FLISOL, maybe because they never understood the event and the community behind it. When some people from the FLISOL community tried to start a conversation last year about moving the Ubuntu release a couple of days in order to sync it FLISOL we got, well... nothing. Not that I was expecting Canonical to actually move the Ubuntu release schedule, but an official response (at least from some developer), or some discussion about it would have been nice. So... a Canonical that has always ignored FLISOL have now two videos (that may be shown in over 230 cities in Latin America and Spain) and the FLISOL event scheduled in the loco directory? To me, it's like giving Canonical a free ride. And I'm sorry to disagree with you here, Rubén :) but from my POV, this is unacceptable. > Shall let you know > > > 2011/3/21 Rubén Romero y Cordero <hua...@ubuntu.com>: > > 2011/2/28 Leandro Gómez <leo.tel...@gmail.com>: > >> 2011/2/28 Fabián Rodríguez <magic...@ubuntu.com> > >>> > >>> On 02/28/2011 10:08 AM, Leandro Gómez wrote: > >>> > >>> 2011/2/28 Fabián Rodríguez <magic...@ubuntu.com> > >>>> > >>>> On 02/26/2011 09:59 AM, Efrain Valles wrote: > >>>> > Hey all, been a while, > >>>> > > >>>> > I was wondering how many of us are participaing in FLISOL 2011, (for > >>>> > non spanish-speaking countries check > >>>> > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLISOL ) massive install fest in > >>>> > latin-america and spain. > >>>> > > >>>> > Does it make sense to start a global loco directory event where loco > >>>> > teams can express their participation? > >>>> > Is the flisol.net wiki enough to transfer the information? > >>>> > Could loco directory serve as only referal information for internal > >>>> > comunity reference. > >>>> > > >>>> > Thoughts? > >>>> > > >>>> I think it's a great idea.
