<h1>Georg Greve in South America</h1> |
|
|
|
<p>From <b>May 20th, 2004</b> until <b>June 10th, 2004</b>, <a |
|
href="/about/people/greve/">Georg Greve</a> was touring South America, |
|
visiting the local Free Software community in Argentina, Uruguay and |
|
Brazil to support them in their struggle for freedom and share |
|
experiences collected in the work of the FSFE.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>His public activities included an interview for Argentina's most |
|
important newspaper, articles in one of the most popular papers in |
|
Porto Alegre, Brazil and public speeches such as a speech at the |
|
University of Cordoba about Free Software in Education. He was |
|
keynote speaker at the first national Argentinian congress on Free |
|
Software organised by USUARIA in Buenos Aires and the international |
|
Free Software Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>As laws about Free Software in education and the public sector are |
|
increasingly being discussed, Georg Greve also spoke to the national |
|
parliament of Uruguay in Montevideo and the senate of the province of |
|
Buenos Aires, Argentina to support these initiatives.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>After visiting the foreign ministry in Brasilia, Brazil and giving |
|
a speech at the Banco Central do Brasil, he made his way back to |
|
Europe.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>Personally he most valued the chance to get a first hand impression |
|
on how Latin America is using the freedom of Free Software to address |
|
social issues and problems. A prominent example are the "Telecentros" |
|
in Brazil which are set up in camps of the Landless Workers Movement |
|
and other areas with little hope in order to give people a way of |
|
acquiring skills, getting new perspectives, gaining a voice and |
|
building a community to work for social change.</p> |
|
|
|
<p>We expect this trip to help and support the local Free Software |
|
community in their work and contribute towards building a global |
|
network of Free Software organisations, of which FSFE will be one |
|
part.</p> |
