<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>
