Latinoware and GNOME Forum

It’s over… what a pity. It was one of the best events I’ve ever attended. This time was special: I took my wife with me! We enjoyed it a lot!

Wednesday – 29 Oct

We arrived in Foz do Iguaçu in the morning, and went directly to Paraguay. We didn’t even got out of the bus, due to a strong rain. Went back to hotel. Met Fábio (GNOME translator) and gave a walk through the city. At night, after an endless waiting, we got dinner, sponsored by Latinoware. Fish food, very good:

Everybody was hungry

Thursday – 30 Oct

First day of the event, get the credentials, get the booth ready, meet the friends, this stuff. At night we had a opening drink, and a “light show”, in the Itaipu. The dinner was pizza:

Friday – 31 Oct

Friday was free for most of us. In the morning, we went to Paraguay, make some shopping. Crazy place, lots, lots of people. After lunch, time to visit the wonderful Iguassu Falls: Just amazing, incredible miracle of the nature!

Better day, after all it’s the GNOME Forum Day. We had talks from 10 am to 7 pm! Pictures and details about our Forum can be found at http://br.gnome.org/GNOMEBR/VForum (pt-BR). In the end of the day we had our last dinner .

I would like to thank the GNOME Foundation and Latinoware for making this happen. It really rocks. It was really wonderful to meet old and new friends.

Of course, I must thank Izabel Valverde, who – one more time – organized our Forum. Izabel, thank you very much!
