After few hectic weeks organizing IWEEE 2013, we are back to normal!

This year we had speakers from: Doctors without Borders, Red Cross, Ministry of Health of El Salvador, UNESCO University of La Laguna and CARITAS, Partners for Health NGO- Tbilisi State Medical University, ZOHE among others.

Luis Falcón and Thang Dao  – Opening Session

I want to thank each and every one of the speakers for attending the event, it was a pleasure to share time and knowledge with you!

I also thank all the attendees for coming, I hope you have found the event as interesting as I did.

As you know, the slogan of the event was Social Justice. In these years, what has moved and continues to move GNU Solidario’s work, it has been the necessity to get justice for the needy, as normally justice is not for the poors…

Thang Dao – Doctors without Borders 

The political and economic situation that we are experiencing today is showing us how it is increasingly necessary a health system that is not a privilege just for few, but rather a RIGHT for all !

Group picture
As Luis Falcón said in the opening session, today’s developed countries are as needed as the underprivileged. Luis Falcón stated in a previous interview: 

… we have to keep fighting every day for a more just and inclusive society, with a universal, free, public health care system … Luis Falcón

The presentations showed the different realities and solutions available nowadays in different regions / continents. The common feature of all was the desire to share and find solutions that can improve the current situation.

Carlos Juan Martín Pérez – Ministry of Health El Salvador
GNU Solidario‘s mission is to provide education and health with Free Software, as Luis Falcón said: 

… Free software is, and should be, synonymous with social activism and ethics … Luis Falcón

Richard Stallman – Free Software Foundation
To emphasize the benefits of free software, attended the conference Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, creator of GNU/Linux and Free Software activist. Stallman gave a master lecture on: “Free Software …. Defending your freedom” during which he stressed on the fact that we are still far from the implementation of free software and that most people remain slaves of proprietary softwares.

Aymón López Márquez – Bubble Software Assotiation
The event was a great time of learning and reflection. Personally we got the chance to see different realities, the great work that lies behind many organizations and the need to continue promoting the use of free software, particularly in areas like education and health.

Licino Kustra Mano – epSOS
A special thanks to Miguel Falcón,Tily Martín and Mariola Falcón for the logistical / personal support and donations, without you this event would have been impossible. Thank you!
Thanks to the media that were present and spread the event.

Jesús González Herrera – Ingenia
Change does not happen by chance, it happens by choice … That’s why we ask you to continue supporting us in our solidarity campaign in favor of the needy and help us continue on the path we have started a few years ago towards the change we want to make.

Until next time!
GNU Solidario’s team.

Después de unas semanas frenéticas, organizando IWEEE 2013, estamos de vuelta a la normalidad !
Este año hemos tenido ponentes de Médicos sin Fronteras, Cruz Roja, Ministerio de Salud de El Salvador, UNESCO Universidad de La Laguna y CARITAS, entre otros.

Zviad Kirtava – Partners for Health NGO. Tbilisi State Medical University 
Queremos agradecer cada uno de los ponente y de los asistente al evento, ha sido un placer compartir tiempo y conocimiento con ustedes.
El lema de IWEEE 2013 ha sido Justicia Social. En estos años lo que ha movido y sigue moviendo a GNU Solidario ha sido conseguir justicia para los más necesitados, ya que normalmente no hay justicia para los pobres …

Alberto Lazzero – ZOHE

La situación política y económica que estamos viviendo hoy en día nos está mostrando como cada vez más sea necesario un sistema de salud que no sea un privilegio para pocos, sino más bien un derecho para todos !

Pedro Herranz Porcio – CARITAS
Como bien dijo Luis Falcón en la apertura del evento, hoy en día los países desarrollados están tan necesitados como los menos privilegiados. Luis Falcón expresó en una entrevista previa:
… tenemos que seguir luchando cada día más por una sociedad más justa e inclusiva, con un sistema de salud pública universal, libre y de calidad … Luis Falcón (Premios PortalProgramas)

Nicholas Wilkie – Doctors without Borders
Las charlas de los ponentes mostraron las diferentes realidades y soluciones existentes hoy en día en diferentes regiones/continentes. El elemento en común entre todos fue el deseo de querer compartir y encontrar soluciones que puedan mejorar la situación actual.

Holger Schmuhl – Helmholtz Zentrum München. Medfloss.org
GNU Solidario tiene como misión proporcionar Educación y Salud con Software Libre que, como dice Luis Falcón: 

… El Software libre es, y debe ser, sinónimo de activismo social y de ética … Luis Falcón 

Richard Stallman: Free Software … Defending your Freedom
Para recalcar los beneficios del Software Libre, estuvo presente Richard Stallman, fundador de la Free Software Foundation, creador de GNU/Linux y gran activista del Software Libre. Stallman dio una charla magistral sobre “Software Libre …. Defendiendo tu libertad” durante la cual hizo hincapié sobre el hecho de que estamos todavía muy lejos de la implementación del software libre y de como la mayoría de la gente sigue siendo esclava de los softwares privativos.

Jordi Puiggené Valls – BIKA Labs
El evento fue un gran momento de aprendizaje y reflexión. Personalmente nos dio la oportunidad de ver realidades diferentes, el gran trabajo que hay atrás de muchas organizaciones y la necesidad de seguir impulsando el uso del Software Libre, sobretodo en áreas como educación y salud.

Olga Ferrer-Roca – UNESCO University of La Laguna
Queremos hacer un agradecimiento especial a Miguel Falcón, Tily Martín y Mariola Falcón por todo el apoyo logístico / personal y la donación. Sin ustedes hubiera sido imposible. Gracias !

Benjamine Budiman – Cruz Roja
Agradecemos a los medios que se hicieron presentes y que han difundido el evento.

Luis Falcón and Sebastián Marró – GNU Solidario
El cambio no se produce por casualidad, ocurre por elección … Es por eso que les pedimos que nos sigan apoyando en nuestra campaña solidaria a favor de los mas necesitados y ayudarnos a seguir en el camino que hemos empezados hace unos años, hacia el cambio que queremos lograr.

Hasta la próxima !
El equipo de GNU Solidario.
