Tenerife

I've spent a lovely week in the English enclave of Costa Adeje in the south of Tenerife with my girlfriend and without internet access.

Today I moved north to La Laguna, a city where they actually speak Spanish. Here they were celebrating Software Freedom Day with a demonstration lab setup in the city centre running Bardinux, one of the local derivatives of Kubuntu.

Later with week I will be talking at Il Jornadas de Software Libre, a conference run by La Laguna university. I'll also give a tutorial. Other speakers include Alan Runyan of Plone, Marcelo Tosatti of Linux 2.4 and El Presidento Aaron Seigo.

Chilren learn about free software through the medium of Tux Paint.

The city were so pleased to see me they put out this Scottish flag to welcome me in.
