Casual meeting
Today happened the first PoaOSUG "casual meeting" where laptops are not allowed 
I just send a mail for our list that said "I'll be in the bar drinking beer at 6:30pm . If someone want drink with me and talk about OpenSolaris, feel free". In fact I really dosen't have any plans, just talk with the guys of group. The result: Dionatan, Leandro and Rafael came to bar, Cristiano said that he dosen't saw the mail... We done a kind of brain storm for the next meetings and next tech-talks. Also we discuss some actions for the fisl10 that will occour from June 24 to June 27 in Porto Alegre.
It was a very nice meeting.

The regulation of Internet in France
Yesterday the French politics approved yours Internet's regulation, with the lobby of Carla Bruni (singer, model and French First Lady).
According the text that I read in BusinessWeek and CNN everybody that use P2P for illegal purpose will be notified by the government in the first and second use. And in the third time the user will be blocked in your ISP and will be prohibited to sign any contract with another provider, also the user will be forced to keep paying your actual ISP.
The regulation needs to be approved by the CE. But I was thinking... How the French government will detect who are use P2P for illegal reasons? And how the government will define what is illegal reason? I'm not sure, but this subject might think in privacy problems.
Here in Brazil our government are discuss an similar law. Unfortunately the Brazilian's regulation has some obscure details. Nobody knows this details for explain to the community.

Bad times
Last Saturday happened another GeJun's meeting at Unisinos. In totally are 21 students learned what is consists an class, method, attributes, inheritance and some Java concepts. But this meeting was different... Ronaldo Prass one of the group's founder and responsible for the numbers at Unisinos needs to lay off, unfortunately.
They are allocated in several projects in his work and dosen't have time for the meetings. Ronaldo promise that he will keep sending mail in the mailing list and discuss virtually.
But as said in the song "we can't stop the show"
And for this reason I'm assume the meetings at Unisinos, with the support of another "old-guys" in group. Márcio Leal, Felipe Gross and others will help conduct the java classes and we will continue using the Jedi's project.
Tanks Ronaldo!

Also we has another room that running in parallel a big install fest with this softwares and operating system and much more!

and your URL it's http://flisol.opensolaris.org.br The official flisol's site it's http://flisol.net. I posted some pictures on my flickr, available here
I'm really don't know for how long time I was involved in event's organization with Felipe Santos from asl.org, but when I note that everything are running (wifi, rooms, install fest, tech-talks). I can note that I was a little be tired
The best part of organized an event it's when everything are done and following what you planed. The worst it's they finish so early. But when everything are finished and organized. I went to a churrascaria with Angel, Ronaldo, Felipe, Oscar and Thomé (the guys that help us during the event) to celebrate this day.

A huge mistake...
A huge mistake was done this Friday, April 17. A judge condemned Redrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm, Peter Sunde e Carl Lundstroem to 1 year in jail AND to pay around $3.6 million.
Now you thing "but what crime they done? They killed someone?" No, they simple launch a web site where people can share your torrents file. They called Pirate Bay.
For a long time I thing this is an file server with copyright content, and I confess that I did some downloads there But when the process give space on the news I understand that Pirate Bay dosen't store anything!!! And this is the wrong idea that a lot of people has about this site. For understand your purpose just read the legal section and about section. Then asking again "what crime the done?"
Ok the entertainment's industry won this match, congratulations...
Now a little common sense to know what would happen today. From one side 4 guys that create a web site, another side the movie and music industry with your money.
By the way... the official news I read here

New quizz at osum
During last week I give an idea to improve osum numbers. I ask my self "why I'm entry in a another social network?" and the answer was "well I need a good reason". Ok at osum you give a good reason, stay in touch with a lot technology guys, sun's engineer and with your friends. But another good reason is because I create 2 quiz.
At UFRGS Group I started new discussion for participants create an short phrase including the words Sun, Open Source and the UFRGS (the university name). Everybody that write something with this 3 words are in the quiz. The winner will give a Sun's backpack.
At Brazilian OpenSolaris Group I done almost the same thing. But the candidates need to write an phrase including the words Sun, Open Source, OpenSolaris. The winner will give a new Solaris Internals Edition that Eduardo has.
After one week... a lot of candidates with his phrase. It was time to choose the winners. I found in the web the random.org and insert the participant's ID. The site choose the winner for me
And the winners are:
Fabio Prochnow from UFRGS, he give the backpack
Willian Bonifacio he live at Rio de Janeiro (Eduardo send his book by mail)
The UFRGS Group grow up with that initiative. Now we are in 79 members, almost target
This is Fabio, the backpack's winner
