many spanish readers will see this, so i'll write the msg in spanish, then in english...
recuerdo haber leido de este programa hace como un año, hasta le mande un correo al encargado (arturo espinosa aldama?). nunca recibi informacion o respuesta. me perecia una excelente idea (y aun me parece). estoy de acuerdo con jd de que es un excelente oportunidad para mexico y seria una pena gastarla. yo seria de la opinion que aun si la UNAM ni el govierno quiere ayudar, pues que nosotros los mexicanos lo agamos. una idea tonta, lo se, pero si es posible.
pregunta, alguien esta interesado en traducir linux a nahuatl? si estan mandeme un correo (quitale el SANS_SPAM antes).
a proposito, aqui hay un sito con informacion sobre linux en mexico:

i remember reading about this about a year ago, i even wrote to the guy who was in charge, but i never got a reply or info. i do agree with jd that it's a great opportunity for all involved to better the standing of mexico and it would be a shame to waste. i think that if we keep on waiting for the goverment or the UNAM to do something about it we might end up dissapointed. perhaps it's time some of us did something about it. i know it's a stupid idea, but stranger things have happened.
just my two centavos:-{)

What we need now is a RoboFlyBot.

That would set the big brother factor down a notch. Make RoboFlyBot RoboFly-Powered RoboFly-Hunting Robot. It'd be like transformers, robots hunting robots. They could even recycle the roboflies to make more predators... mmm... pretty cool.
I think it's great that Miguel is concentrating on Gnome. everything at the UNAM (his university) seems to be at a stand still anyway and if he can do something more constructive than waiting for the student strike to end, even better.
Regardless of Gnome, i do find it kind of sad that he decided to leave Mexico. it demonstrates quite nicely the powerful myth that revolves around the USA. i don't mean that it's wrong for him to go there, but it's certainly not necessary. coding can be done anywhere. the fact that he is leaving Mexico is another good example of the (pardon the expression, but united-statesian doesn't sound very good) gringo brain-drain. oh well.
Just in case, i know what i'm talking about since i am mexican, a programmer and don't live in the USA. lived there for a while but live/work Switzerland.
