Brazil Joins JCP

Duke birthday candle

I just arrived in Brazil for the two day "Cafe Brasil" extravaganza in Brasília, and already it's been fantastic. Sat and listened to a passionate appeal for open software with standards by the government's IT philosopher Sergio Amadeu, there has been a tenth birthday party for the Java platform complete with cafe and champagne and then to cap it all Brazil's IT agency SERPRO has announced that they have joined the JCP - the first government to do so. Wow, what a first few hours...
