Last Thursday I’ve been elected as president of GPUL. Since October 2008 I held that position but it happened because Emilio J. Padrón must be replaced. He went to the INRIA at Grenoble, and he needed to take a rest too: his work as president was impressive.
2009 was not a good year for GPUL. We tried to go on with our usual program of workshops and hackmeetings, making honor to our 10th anniversary, but we were forced to stop. Part of the problem were some personal (family) problems I bore this year.
So we (the new board of directors) face now the challenge of guideing GPUL to a new golden age in free software developing and promoting. In the next months we must work updating the infraestructure, then we’ll really try to keep up with the times.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I might say this and ever more.
Best wishes
