I’m very proud of my city today, because it is here (in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil) that the FISL 2009 (10th) is happening ! The FISL is a conference which is attracting more than 7.000 attendees in the same time I’m writing this post. All these people (developers, companies, etc..) are here to talk and focus on “free software”. The conference is being presented with the presence of distinguished speakers like Richard Stallman (FSF), Peter Sunde (from Pirate Bay), Jon “Maddog” Hall (founder of Open Source Internation) and many other great speakers and Python people too =)  even the president of Brazil will be present tomorrow (friday) !!!

Unfortunately, almost the all sessions are in Portuguese, but this conference is a “must-go” for every developer ! See here some photos of the event.
