Invited to FLISOL Puerto Montt

One month ago I received a mail from the organization of the Puerto Montt node of this year's FLISOL. I was glad for receiving such invitation and naturally said that I'd be happy to be there.

Fast forward to right now, FLISOL is going to happen this Saturday, on more than 200 cities around Latin America. My participation on Puerto Montt will consist on a two-stage talk, starting with an introduction to Django (like the one I did on the Encuentro Linux ) and then jumping to a Django/Jython integration talk (like the PyCon one). I have an hour and half to do all of it, which is good because I won't be forced to compress the content too much, but keeping people attention for such time span may be a challenge.

So, if you are in a Latin America country, check out if there is a FLISOL node near you. Chances are the it will, and you can have a great time there, either getting help installing Free/Open-Source Software on your machine, listening to interesting talks, or just hanging around with nice people who appreciate the OSS idea.

Hi Leo,

thank you for share with us your presentation about Django and Jython. I'm still continue working with developing of my thesis with Django and Facebook, so when I get a stable version of my application, I'll tell you to make a look to it.

Well, I hope that all goes well...
Regards from Puerto Montt

Hey Alvaro,

Good to hear from you! I'd be happy to take a look at your application once you finish your thesis. And BTW, it could be interesting if you can show it on the next Encuentro Linux (the deadline for sending proposals is at end of June, IIRC).

BTW, I unfortunately lost your contact information. If you have a twitter account, please tell me what it is.
