Great news for all of us open source activists in Latin America.

This year we have three projects “hechos en latinoamérica” that are finalist in sourceforge : Medical (Best Project for Government), Elastix (Best Project for the Enterprise) and Process Maker (Best Commercial Open Source and Best Visual Design)

I want to thank the community and, specially, the organizations like Free Software Foundation (FSF), and great guys like Jon “Maddog” Hall, who have been key for the adoption of the Open Source in Latin America (and worldwide).

Here is a picture from Debconf 2008 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I met with Jon and talked about the Medical project.
