Talking about Cherokee in Venezuela

Hi there! Just a quick note to let you know I’m in Venezuela for the week. I’ll be attending the XXII Jornadas Infociencias in Barquisimeto where I’ll be talking about Cherokee. It’s my first time here, and I’m enjoying learning about Venezuela’s people and culture. Today I was told there’s this decree 3390 that makes mandatory the usage of Free Software for public institutions. Things sure look bright for FLOSS over here!

I’ve spent the whole day going around, seeing places and meeting people, and I’ve learnt some things:

  1. The sights are awesome.
  2. Trying out the popular dishes is a must! Arepa, hm…. ;)
  3. And everyone over here is really friendly.

I’ll make my point with a photo that was taken when I visited a lab at the Universidad Centroccidental “Lisandro Alvarado” (UCLA-Venezuela). Someone mentioned that I was one of the guests at Infociencias and everybody wanted to be in the photo :)
