The 8th edition of the "Jornadas Regionales de Software Libre" http://www.jornadasregionales.org/, a.k.a. JRSL http://www.jornadasregionales.org/, will happen on this August 20, 21 and 22, in Buenos Aires, Argentina http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=buenos+aires+argentina&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=9&iwloc=addr. The JRSL is a Free/Open Source conference that has been held alternately in Argentina and Uruguay since the year 2000, and both the quality of its agenda and the number of its participants define the JRSL as one of the most important events of the region. This year the conference is organized by CaFeLUG http://www.cafelug.org.ar/ (the Capital Federal GNU/Linux User Group), usuaria http://www.usuaria.org.ar/ (the Argentinian Association of Telecommunication and Computer Users) and the University of Belgrano http://www.ub.edu.ar/, Zabala 1837 which is hosting the conference.

The event will also have other important guests http://jornadas.cafelug.org.ar/8/en/guests/, for a total of 80 speakers and 120 sessions.

The conference is conveniently scheduled after the end of the Debconf 8 http://debconf8.debconf.org/ , which will happen in Mar del Plata, Argentina http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=mar+del+plata,+argentina&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=30.723309,66.181641&ie=UTF8&ll=-37.99995,-57.566986&spn=0.476697,1.034088&t=h&z=11, and is not too far from Buenos Aires. If you plan to go to the Debconf, or if you just happen to be around Buenos Aires between August 20 and August 22, just remember to register http://jornadas.cafelug.org.ar/8/en/home.php and participate in the JRSL too.

Thanks, Cristian.

Good i hope to see some friends of the Argentinian community like: luuuciano, leanucci, S1ack0, |ast| or those all guys who are chilling on #archlinux-es, i'd like to go, but i don't have enough time to plan a Travel to Argentina, :(. But good luck from Venezuela!. Besides; in Venezuela we will have an event (ExpoLatinux) on October http://expo.latinux.org on October 8th to 11th, i hope to know if some people would like to come, we will have speechs from people for other countries, (i proposed to invite some devs of Arch, but i don't organize the event) but i will have a little speech (i thought that i was fight to have a speech about arch, maybe not by a Dev, but i will do an effort) the speech that i'm working is: Title: Arch Linux a simple, lightweight linux distribution Content: the speech will contain information about Arch Linux and his philosophy, main features, for who are Arch oriented, how to be part of the Arch Linux community, and why Arch Linux as a distro (not a distro war). * Intro: Distros, Rolling Release / Bleeding Edge distros and Arch * Arch Linux: Some little history. * KISS: A short story what means the KISS theory. * Pacman: The Arch Linux package manager. * Packaging: Diferences between Arch and other distros. * Package Maintainers: who package? who are TUs, Devs in Arch Linux Community. * AUR: The Arch Linux User Repository. A way to contribute with the distro. * Arch Resources: Bugtracker, Wiki, Forums, foreign languages communities. * Ending: Presentation of the Arch Linux Venezuela Community and Venezuelan Archers, who can contact them. * Questions and Answers. I extracted all the content of this speech from the Wiki and imho it will be a different, i hope to send the slides to the dev group before the event then we will use those all slides on next events. Anyway, if anyone plans to come here to Venezuela for that event, please don't doubt to write me an e-mail and i will do anything possible to have you confortable in here, of course the speech will be in spanish, but i will try (as always) to do it an english version to everyone of us. Cheers!
