Event: Saturday
April 29th, Dublin, Federico Heinz on Education and Public
Administration
People had told me that Federico Heinz was one of the free software
movement's best speakers, so when I heard he was visiting Europe, I
found a gap in his schedule and arranged
for IFSO to host two talks by him.
We have to publicise this event with just nine days notice, so help
would be appreciated.
I've been spending some time here in Brazil with Federico, and I'm
pleased to learn that he's a nice guy and I expect he will indeed be
a good speaker.
He's almost completely unknown over here in Europe, but in Latin
America, free software is BIG, and he's a key figure in drafting
and advocating laws which require the use of free software in
government and public administration.
Hopefully this event will help spread awareness of the work going on
in Latin America, and in FSFE's new sister
organisation, FSF Latin America.
Info about the event, and about Federico, is on the event's homepage.
