It's been a while since the last serious post. Today I got back from a really quick trip to Barcelona and that puts end to a frenetic month of travelling.

I was in Madrid three weeks ago, in the HispaLinux Congress, where I more than anything met tons of other Debian people and some other people.

Then, last week I went to Madrid, to a big demonstration against the new Law of Universities passed by the gang of fascists in the Spanish government. There were like 300.000 people in the streets! We've been doing more protests in our own cities and university campus.

Finally, yesterday I went to Barcelona, gave a talk on Debian in the CSOA Les Naus, organized by the people from Kernel Panic HackLab Barcelona. We had nice political discussions about Debian's organization, etc. Finally, I came back home today. Not bad for someone who isn't too used to travelling...

Free Software:

Since the last post, some things have happened. WMBiff is up to 0.3.4, which is in testing now. GNU nano 1.0.6 was released too, and 1.0.7 should be out soonish. As Debian's nano is frozen now, it's time to upload nano 1.1.3 to unstable now, so people break it and so on. Hey, CVS nano has syntax highlighting now!

Next week will be a bit weird too, I plan sleeping the whole week in the campus, so I'll have little access to the net. I guess the government will have to backup that stupid law in the end. At the moment Aznar and the Ministress of Education just joke and mock about the protests as if they weren't important, and it's the biggest student mobilization since Franco. Fuck you Aznar, fuck you, PilarĂ­n.
