Interesting that they explictly link FS to World Social Forum process.
However, the conference program looks like a "normal" technical FS
conference. First I thought it is a bit more oekonux-like, just a bit...
Well, it is sponsored by a (state) government...
Some more (just a little bit!) oekonux-ish links from the site; eg.
http://www.quilombodigital.org/
especially the document: 'O capital e o Bem-estar, A Empresa e a Amizade'
('Capital and well-being, the firm and friendship') There are a few
english documents on there, but nearly everythings brasilian...
and the site links to just about every linux/gnu oriented site in Brazil -
seems to be growing like crazy there.
Seen on one Brazilian sourceforge clone: a project to automate security
checking for access to a university 'due to the lack of proper controls on
street sellers and inappropriate people being able to walk in from the
street' . Hmm.. free software meets developing country reality :-(
