Well, I booked my plane tickets on March, but there was some $JOB related problems, since the company where I work is facing a merge(and I was pretty sure that I will finish being unemployed), so I was really sad that I’ll have to drop my plans and loose some money, but so far everything looks ok, I’m lucky and the government did not approve the merge and asked for more bureaucratic documents, this give us one year more, so I can finally say that I’ll go to DebConf11 
This year I’m planning to came a bit early and stay at least two days on DebCamp, my work plan is to work on pkg-boinc’s long TODO list, I’m really happy since I missed DebConf10, long time without see some Debian friends faces

Al levantar la vista ahora y ver mi pizarra veo un quetzal con una fecha que apunta a noviembre:
CGSOL en Nvoembre
Claramente me recuerda que CGSOL se tendría que celebrar aproximadamente en un mes, tengo entendido que es en Xela, por lo que desde ya es una alegría regresar a Xela y tomar una o dos cabros con varios amigos , tengo que ir pensando desde ya en alguna charla que pueda ser interesante.

Thanks to the efforts made by Steffen, and recently the great work from Daniel(Boinc’s Ubuntu maintainer, and now member of pkg-boinc team) Squeeze will have boinc 6.10.58 \o/.
If you are curious you can see all changes since 6.2.14(Current version on lenny) http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/b/boinc/current/changelog
The main feature for this release is that now nvidia and ATI users can use their GPU with boinc(they need to download the non-free libs and apply some workarounds).
And if you read trough here, and you are a boinc user and want to help us, please send an email to pkg-boinc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org, we need freshblood there

Yes, 27 years(earth year) spinning around the sun(our sun).
Almost 11 years knowing about free software, and 10 years using Debian, and almost 4 years trying to work on Debian.
At least for me is a good time to say cheers!, holding a beer and keep trying to still be around for at least 27 years more

Finally, after almost 6 months of planing, this event is coming and will be start tomorrow, this is really great, There was a first attempt, and an idea to do a local(central-america based) Debian gathering on 2007 IIRC, now it will happen (almost 3 years later and at the same country).
There was a lot of things that actually change since the fitst attempt, now Central-america has a more strong FLOSS Community, and now this event is possible, and it will happen this weekend yay!
I really need to say thanks to Anto, Mauro Rosero, David, Caro and Gunnar, but I realize that doing all the orga stuffs was hard, I was quite involved since January, and I really say that you need a lot of work and energy to make a small event like this happen, but right now while I still sitting at home trying to finish to prepare my talks I realize that there was a lot of hard work put on this from everyone, and I’m really happy to attend this gathering, also I hope that this event do something good on the local FLOSS people, since we have quite nice people here, but they are afraid to contribute, this is the chance to work together and push a bit to get more contributors from central-america.

Well, not exactly today, but this Tuesday I when to the Acer’s tech support to reclaim my netbook, as many people said on the first post, the problem was the CPU Fan, they just replace the Fan, and then put the HDD again and tested the hardware, so far everything looks ok, Now I need to catch up again with some Debian work, I have some people asking me to sponsor some packages, and I stil have a couple of bugs that was solved on my local git repo.

Desde ya casi mas de un año decidí escribir en Ingles en mi blog , la explicación en el primer post en Ingles: http://churropolis.org/?p=1053.
Desde hace buen rato mi blog esta bastante muerto, no es como antes que posteaba sobre mi día a día, todo esto debido a un problema personal/emocional que en principio me alejo un par de meses, pero después se convirtió en lo común.
Actualmente mi blog casi que no habla mas nada que un par de coas que a mi criterio son importantes(un criterio muy subjetivo), parte de usar el blog ahora es para contar un par de cosas en planet.debian.org, para esto es necesario que los posts vayan en Ingles, y pues siempre mantengo dos categorias y posts en español simplemente no aparecen en ningún planet.
Por el momento no pienso volver a escribir a diario y contar mi vida personal en el blog, tengo poco tiempo libre, y simplemente ya no me parece lo mejor, por lo que quizás la mayoría de mis posts pueda que sean en Ingles, no pienso dejar de escribir en español, pero tampoco pienso dejar de escribir en ingles, y no pienso hacer dos posts en Ingles y Español.
Gracias a los pocos lectores que crean, y a los comentarios buenos y malos.

Yesterday I went to the local support service center for Acer at El Salvador, I realize that I bought my Acer One on Dic 21 2008, so the warranty is still valid , my first concern was my HDD, since at the time the netbook fails I did have a copy of my GPG Key on a non encrypted file system, also all my data was on the HDD and I did not want to leave my computer with my data on the hands of a $RANDOM tech support.
It took me like 15 minutes to convince the representative to remove my HDD before I leave the netbook, but they agree, and they even agree on let me see when they remove the HDD before give it to me, for me this looks like a nice tech support, I actually thought that they will refuse to follow this «extrange» request, and I even thought that they will be refuse to admit the computer, since the original OS was no longer installed.
The netbook should be up and running this Thursday yay!
