On October 12th, the city of Porto hosted the second edition of
<a href="http://www.cidadetecnologica.org/workshops.htm">Porto
Cidade Tecnológica 2001</a>, an event dedicated to Free Software in Portugal.
In an old market slightly above the river, a conference room was
installed in the center. Booths, cyber cafe and install parties
surrounded it. The city of Porto provided the organisational
infrastructure and many people supported the initiative.
