From the get go and what changed

Hi all,

it has been a long time since my last post. A lot had happened and my interests shifted quite a bit as well. Firstly, I am not contributing with free software actively, like in the good and fun days tinkering with Amarok about a year and a half ago. The point is, desktop development, in general, does not makes me tick anymore. Especially when that involves front-end development. KDE is a great community and the knowledge I had acquired by contributing, for two years, certainly surpasses ordinary desktop development assumptions. It certainly entails good software development practices, agile methodologies, build systems, tests, revision control, community building, software licensing and the like.

LaKademy's Logbook: Day 3 and 4

Everyone here have been working very hard these days. And the difficulties and doubts that appeared gave me the opportunity to learn a lot with the KDE overlords we have here. Yesterday morning we stopped the coding/translation activities a bit to plan what we'll do this year to promote KDE in Latin America.

LaKademy's Logbook: Day 1 and 2

The flight from Recife to Porto Alegre wasn't really comfortable. The airplane had to stop over in both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. And since I leaved Recife at 00:37 it was hard to sleep with these stopovers and people getting in and out the airplane.

Although the majority of the participants didn't take long to appear on day 26, some of us had had problems with delayed flights due to the bad weather in Porto Alegre. Fortunately, I didn't had such problems, since I arrived in Porto Alegre in the beginning of the morning.

New times demands new blog

Hi everyone. A lot of things had changed since I started to post on "O Pinguim Engenheiro". It was created by me with two other university colleagues. Our initial purpose was to write about tecnology, nerd stuff, programming and GNU/Linux.
