			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 634px"><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Mapa_conceptual_del_software_libre.svg" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Mapa_conceptual_del_software_libre.svg?referer=');"><img class=" " title="Mapa Conceptual Software Libre" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Mapa_conceptual_del_software_libre.svg" alt="Mapa Conceptual Software Libre" width="624" height="440" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mapa Conceptual Software Libre</p></div>
<p>En primer lugar, hay que aclarar lo siguiente: <a title="Open Source" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software?referer=');">Open Source</a> es Diferente al <a title="Free Software" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software?referer=');">Free Software</a>. El Open Source ni el Free Software se Paga, es completamente Gratis. Sin entrar en detalles, Free Software es una filosofia, una cultura, incluso un estilo de vida; Open Source puede ser considerada como una metologia pragmatica de desarrollo. Si quieres ver mas, entra a este enlace <a title="Por qué el código abierto pierde el punto de vista del software libre" href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.es.html" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.es.html?referer=');">Why Open Source misses the point of Free Software</a>.</p>
<p>Existen diferentes puntos de vista desde donde ver el Open Source, pero este articulo no se trata de sugestionar al lector a utilizar Open Source, se trata de analizar desde un punto de vista objetivo la implementacion de tecnologias consideradas Abiertas. Tampoco tratare de analizar la Rentabilidad de Desarrollar aplicaciones y liberarlas bajo licencias abiertas, pues depende de tantos factores que requieren mayor tiempo e investigacion.</p>
<p>El origen de este articulo se remonta al siguiente twt de <a title="Arturo Lopez Valerio" href="http://twitter.com/alopezvalerio" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/twitter.com/alopezvalerio?referer=');">@alopezvalerio</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"El mercado profesional no puede depender de las herramientas gratuitas; muchas veces ni siquiera pagar por capacitación. Eso es #amateur."</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-524"></span><br />
Una vez mas, la frase: "herramientas gratuitas" es muy ambigua, pues puede confundirse con los que es Free Software, Open Source, Shareware y Freeware; pero por un siguiente twt me di cuenta que se referia a Open Source:</p>
<blockquote><p>"@sanchezsergio El #OS es creado por el capital humano; en ese sentido maximiza el valor de su creador. Los negocios necesitan soporte."</p></blockquote>
<p>Para ser sincero, me sorprende este comentario, pues <a title="Arturo Lopez Valerio" href="http://www.arturolopezvalerio.com/" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.arturolopezvalerio.com/?referer=');">Arturo</a> dice ser un gran conocedor, especialista en Open Source y uno de los procursores del mismo en el pais. El negocio real del Free Software y el Open Source esta en el Servicio, tal como hace Red Hat, que garantizan un servicio 24/7 a todos sus clientes. En Republica Dominciana, una empresa tiene 2 opciones garantizadas a la hora de requerir Soporte sobre alguna implementacion abierta. La primera opcion de soporte es contratar por cualquier via (outsourcing, contratos de servicio, empleomania, etc) a un especialista en la tecnologia implementada. y la segunda opcion es solicitar los servicios de la Fundacion Codigo Libre Dominicana. Otra opcion extraoficial es recurrir a los foros en internet.</p>
<p>Con esto desmiento el mito que dice que: "No existe soporte cuando implementas Open Source".</p>
<p>Volviendo al caso de Red Hat es bueno aclarar y repetir que ellos no te venden la distribucion (seria ilegal), sino el soporte, lo que desmiente lo siguiente dicho por Arturo:</p>
<blockquote><p>"@sanchezsergio Por eso @redhat ahora se tiene que pagar, porque las empresas solicitan #soporte y #garantia, cosa que la #comunidad no da"</p></blockquote>
<p>Ojo. La comunidad no tiene la obligacion de dar soporte, pero si el compromiso moral y etico. Por eso existen las listas de correos y los canales IRC.</p>
<p>Otra confusion que existe es el "teatro" armado por Microsoft de "regalar" copias de algunas de sus aplicaciones a estudiantes en universidades y escuelas. Cabe destacar que estas copias son las versiones basicas limitadas de por ejemplo Windows, SQL Sever y Visual Studio... Office no esta dentro de estas aplicaciones. Si se analiza el caso, estas copias no son en su totalidad gratuitas, pues surgen entre Instituciones que son clientes por un largo tiempo de Microsoft.</p>
<p>Para continuar con este articulo seguire utilizando los comentarios de ALV. Seguire con este comentario:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Piratear es Robar. Software libre es programar algo que otros deben usar sin restricciones. Aqui en #RD tenemos un #sancocho con eso."</p></blockquote>
<p>Este comentario es algo confuso, pues se podria interpretar que usar Software Libre es Piratear. Por otra parte, realmente no existe nada eticamente incorrecto en usar el software como se nos "pegue la regalada gana". Tambien este comentario me soprende, pues Arturo Lopez Valerio profesa la reduccion  de la brecha digital en el pais, pero ¿como se lograria esto si limitamos y restringimos el uso del software?. Desde este punto de vista, implementar Software Libre aumenta considerablemente  la cantidad de PC que se podrian distribuir en una zona rural de escasos recursos de nuestro pais, ¿acaso estoy equivocado?</p>
<p>El hecho de que el software libre es gratis reduce costos, es un hecho. Entonces ¿se debe implementar Software Libre en todos los casos? No! Todo depende la factibilidad del caso y del dominio del encargado de levantar la infraestructura de los sistemas de informacion. Esto no resta a las ganancias, al contrario, al reducir los gastos aumenta la utilidad.</p>
<p>Continuo con un twt que no tiene sentido alguno:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Creo que el discurso Open Source termina cuando tienes que pagar tus cuentas. A nadie le gusta que le roben su propiedad intelectual."</p></blockquote>
<p>El Open Source no se roba, ni se "piratea". En primer lugar no se puede robar ningun tipo propiedad intelectual cuando implementas Open Source. Existen cientos de licencias Abiertas y si alguna empresa o persona la incumple puede ser demandada, como ha ocurrido en varios casos. Quien o quienes desarrollan open source no lo hacen para vivir, lo hacen como algo extra, algo para aportar a la comunidad y a la sociedad. No es cierto que quienes hacemos Open Source (a menor o gran escala) "morimos de hambre", eso es simple una expresion sin fundamentos de personas que no conocen el Open Source.</p>
<p>Si bien es cierto que los proyectos Open Software y Free Software se mantienen en base a la comunidad por medio de donaciones de dinero (o tiempo) por parte de personas y/o empresas, un usuario puede pasar toda su vida usando software libre o abierto sin tener que donar un solo centavo de yen y no es incorrecto.</p>
<p>Este otro twt sin sentido:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Hablame de Open Source, pero sin robar la propiedad intelectual de otros"</p></blockquote>
<p>Cuando como desarrollador aportas en algun proyecto Abiero o Libre, estas donando tu conocimiento, lo estas regalando por voluntad propia a la comunidad, lo que conyeva a que lo donado es de todos.</p>
<p>Para terminar quisiera hablar de 2 temas: 1, Neutralidad Tecnologica y 2, Costos del Software Libre. Empezare por los Costos del Software Libre o Abierto.</p>
<p>Hace casi un año, en la 1era. Feria de Software Libre en PUCMM expuse sobre un tema interesante: "Software Libre en las PyMes". Para el fin, hice mis investigaciones de costos. A la hora de implementar Software Libre o Abierto reducimos los costos de inversion en software y reducimos los gastos, pues no estamos atados a ningun tipo de licencia. Ahora bien, esto no quiere decir que no se gasta nada a lo largo del ano contable o fiscal, pues hay que recurrir a gastos en soporte, donde hoy dia, el especialista en Software Libre es mas caro que un profesional estandar que solo sabe sobre tecnologias privativas. Les invito a que ustedes mismos hagan la prueba y cotizen licencias para una red de 5 equipos de oficina y un servidor. Tirando simples calculos, si tienes 5 pc con Windows a 200 dolares cada uno, en adicion 400 por cada licencia de office, sumandole tambien 1000 dolares por licencia de windows server 2008, obtienes la suma de: 4000 dolares solo en lo basico. A esto debes sumarle los costos de las licencias de los antivirus y demas aplicaciones. Asumiendo que el dolar esta a 36 pesos dominicanos, tienes la totalidad de 72000 pesos. Si tomas 20,000 pesos para capacitar en Software Libre a tu encargado de IT, terminas en la conclusion de que te estas ahorrando 50000 pesos como minimo que pueden ser utilizados para cualquier otro tipo de inversion. Esto reduce el tiempo del ROI considerablemente e incluso las ganancias aumentan, pues estas gastando menos.</p>
<p>Esta es la ventaja de aplicar Software Libre en las PyMes. Para las grandes empresas es "otra historia" que no tocare.</p>
<p><a title="Neutralidad tecnológica" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralidad_tecnol%C3%B3gica" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutralidad_tecnol_C3_B3gica?referer=');">Neutralidad Tecnologica</a>. Es un tema muy amplio y relativo, asi que solo quiera citar lo siguiente publicado en un <a title="¿Neutralidad tecnológica?" href="http://www.kriptopolis.org/neutralidad-tecnologica" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.kriptopolis.org/neutralidad-tecnologica?referer=');">articulo en Kriptopolis</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Realmente Kranzberg, uno de los mayores expertos en la materia, estaba en lo cierto. La historia nos ha demostrado que tenía razón. La nueva falacia, fruto del departamento de Marketing de multinacionales del software, ha sido convencer a nuestros políticos de la necesidad de "neutralidad tecnológica" y realmente, es una idea tan imposible de lograr como intentar ir a la luna en bicicleta.</p>
<p>No se puede pedir neutralidad tecnológica cuando la tecnología, por definición, no es ni puede ser neutral y afecta profundamente a nuestras vidas en aspectos que no son meramente tecnológicos. De hecho, puede afectar a nuestra privacidad, seguridad o libertad...</p></blockquote>
<p>En conclusion, debemos entender que como profesionales jugamos un papel muy importante en la sociedad y tenemos que ser capaces de sostener nuestras soluciones en bases bien firmes. Sobre nuestros hombros reposa una gran carga social que nos impulsa a ser cada vez mejores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After 4 months using Kubuntu, I decided to delete that installation and install Fedora with Gnome, again. I really like KDE 4, but Ubuntu is not for me. Fedora has been for years my favorite linux distribution. KDE 4 is very impressive, cool and fresh, but still requires a lot of capacity by the machine and because of that is very slow and heavy.</p>
<p>Another thing is that although Ubuntu is a good distribution has reached a point where there has not been a notable progress in their latest releases. I can't enumerate and define negative features on Ubuntu, but since Hardy Heron i do not like it anymore.</p>
<p>At the end, I'm back to Fedora+Gnome, this is a screenshoot:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/10/EscritorioNov2009.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-445" title="My Desktop with Fedora 11 and Gnome" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/10/EscritorioNov2009-300x187.png" alt="My Desktop with Fedora 11 and Gnome" width="300" height="187" /></a></p>
<p>I'm happy again! <img src='http://www.davidtavarez.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm kind of tired of these myths: "linux is for geeks", "linux is ugly", "linux is not easy" and many more... Let's be real, we'll be never able to explain why people do not install linux, but there are some stupid myths around linux, windows and mac...</p>
<p><span id="more-429"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Windows is not too bad.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I can't really explain why some people could say that... every day hundreds of viruses and bugs are discovered, a common user have to reinstall windows every 2 or 3 months! and "windows is not too bad"! for real?</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Linux is Ugly.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Really? This is my Desktop... is this ugly?</p>
<div id="attachment_430" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_1.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-430" title="desktop powered by kde 4.3.1" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_1-300x187.png" alt="KDE 4.3.1" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KDE 4.3.1</p></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>Linux is not friendly...</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I really do not know why people say this... We can choice between many desktop enviroments and personalize these enviroments really easy... I really like KDE but some of my friends likes GNOME, others XFCE and many more. And we can install all this enviroments for free just doing click. This is how my desktops looks like normally when I'm not working:</p>
<div id="attachment_431" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_2.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-431" title="Amarok, Twitter and Firefox on Linux" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_2-300x187.png" alt="Amarok, Twitter and Firefox on Linux" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amarok, Twitter and Firefox on Linux</p></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>There is too hard to find the programs.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>What?! We just need to do a click to see all the applications installed by default.</p>
<div id="attachment_432" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_4.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-432" title="menu on kde 4" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_4-300x187.png" alt="menu on kde 4" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">menu on kde 4</p></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>Install programs and updates is not easy as on Windows or Mac?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>There is something easy than just click? On linux we do not need to search on Internet to find an application. All we need to do is just click and linux find the application, download from internet, install and configure the application for us. Also we have a cron that search for updates periodically, when there is an Update we jus have to click and that's it!</p>
<div id="attachment_433" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_5.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-433" title="KPackageKit" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_5-300x187.png" alt="KPackageKit" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">KPackageKit</p></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>Windows have better effects than Linux</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Really? Windows can do this?</p>
<div id="attachment_434" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_3.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-434" title="Cube on KDE 4.3.1" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_3-300x187.png" alt="Cube on KDE 4.3.1" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cube on KDE 4.3.1</p></div>
<blockquote><p><strong>Multimedia and Hardware support on Linux</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If Adobe do not wants to launch their applications for Linux... Is not Linux fault! Face it! Besides many companies are writing drivers por linux as Intel, HP, ATI, GeFroce, Dell, HP...</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Too many Linux Distributions</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>What is the exact problem? That people do not like to read a second and know what they are doing, not a problem of Linux or Free Software.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The command line is old school</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>A common user does not need to write a single command to do common tasks, but anyways the "man" command explain how to use all commands on linux.</p>
<div id="attachment_435" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_6.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-435" title="Yakuake on KDE 4.3.1" src="http://www.davidtavarez.com/uploads/2009/09/powered_kde43_6-300x187.png" alt="Yakuake on KDE 4.3.1" width="300" height="187" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Yakuake on KDE 4.3.1</p></div>
<h2>Conclusion.</h2>
<p>There are more reasons than these stupid myths about why people do not use Linux... there are many stupid myths about this... some people say that Linux is just for Geeks, but those people who say that do not know nothing about linux. That's all! <strong>Linux is for Everyone</strong>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people ask me about why they should use Linux... I can't answer that question, I'm not a seller, I'm not trying to change the people's minds... but when they ask me: "Why do you use Linux?" I can select a few reasons...</p>
<p>These are my top 5 reasons about Why do I use linux... <span id="more-421"></span></p>
<p><strong>Reason #1:</strong> <em>I use Linux because I want to</em>. Is not just because linux is better, the main reason is because I want to use Linux, I need no other reason.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #2:</strong> <em>Freedom</em>. I'm free to do whatever I want to on Linux by Free. I can change everything if I want to. I don't have to pay anything, I have full control of my system.</p>
<p><strong>Reason #3:</strong> <em>Security</em>. Free of Viruses!!!...</p>
<p><strong>Reason #4:</strong> <em>Upgrade</em>s. I always got all upgrades by free <img src='http://www.davidtavarez.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Reason #5:</strong> <em>Many choices</em>. I can chosse between many applicacions, desktops, distributions, packages... all by free.</p>
<p>Technically Linux is better... but, if this is not enought, I have more many reasons... that's it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canonical released version 0.1 of its new project Quickly aimed at simplifying the process of developing and distributing applications for Linux. This provides a framework and a utility for command line to generate code for projects, saving changes to a system for version control, build and release software packages over. </p>
<p>Quickly use a template system (templates) that defines special behavior for different types of projects. The default template (ubuntu-project) will help users to build applications with Python and Glade.</p>
<p>Quickly helps you create software programs (and other things) quickly. You can select from a set of application templates and use some simple quickly commands to create, edit code and GUI, and publish your software for others to use. Quickly's templates are easy to write. So if you are a fan of language foo, you can create a foo-project template. Or if you want to help people making plugins for your killer app, you can make a killer-app-plugin template. You can even create a template for managing corporate documents, creating your awesome LaTeX helpers The sky is the limit!<br />
