F/OSS conference in Colombia

The first couple of days in Bogota have been great. The conference has been quite good so far: it has been very interesting to meet Alexandre Oliva for the Free Software Foundation Latin America, for instance. In fact, when I finished my talk on F/OSS and OpenSolaris he came up with a couple of very clever questions.

Besides, it is been quite enjoyable to visit the city (I haven't had much time for this though). There are a million things that are uncommon to me: food, many "weird" fruits and, as usual, many differences between our different Spanish word registers.

By the way, it is not the first time I eat something that I couldn't even imagine that could be eaten (for instance, grasshoppers in Mexico or Cuy - some sort of rat - in Peru), but eating ants here in Colombia have been a really unforgettable experience. In fact, it was quite shocking when I took the first one, they were much bigger than what I expected. Check how the ants look!
