Rex in hack

ghm logoSince Thursday to Sunday took place in Ourense the first GNU Hackers Meeting. This event was organized by the Spanish chapter of the GNU Project and our little brothers of GULO, the Ourense free software group.

Emilio and me attended since friday afternoon. So, we missed the first 48 hours of the event. It was a pity because we passed a very, very pleasant and funny time in the weekend :-) I want to stand out the organization because they did a hard, nice work. With the quarter of the staff we had in the Dudesconf, they made us to be confortable every time: we only had in mind free software and the GNU project. The place to hack and sleep was hardly surmountable, the Univesitary Students Residence of Las Burgas. Even we had sessions in thermal springs (I didn’t had a bath because I’m a dry-land geek :-D ). So, congratulations to Kaderno, Kabute, Juan and the rest of GULO people. You know the difference between talk about free software and really work on free software ;-)

Personally I had the chance to meet with the GNU España people that I only knew by e-mail or instant messenger: Nacho González, José E. Marchesi, Antonio Díaz, Juan Añel, Antonio Becerro, and more. We meet with two very interesting luxury guests: Sylvain Beucler, admin and developer of Savannah, and Brian Gough, the GNU Scientific Library maintainer. And, of course, I enjoyed with GPUL people too: Emilio, Teodoro, Eduardo, our future member Pedro Varela, and Ana Guerrero (well, Ana is not strictly a GPUL member but she’s part of the family since Dudesconf :-) ). We were in a hackmeeting and we had no stress!!! :-D
