My Best Friend

I've met a lot of people, but my BFF was the only person who I actually talk a lot since I met her. Her name is Loreto, I met her thirteen years ago in a Role Playing Game Chat, when I was nine years old. She's from La Serena. She's very important to me, and when We were child we just talked all day in MSN. Their fathers were out of money when She was eleven years old so she couldn't connect to the MSN for one and half year. When she goes away I throught I will never gonna see her again. But then one day she just connected again and was like She never gone. 

She's actually living in Santiago, next to my apartment (she's my neighbour!). She's graduate in Plastic's Art. It's funny because when she arrived in Santiago, she decided to study Art in campus JGM. I didn't know where that thing was. Then I discovered that my school was in the same campus of her school. 

I like her because it's like we have a mind connection. We say the same things at the same time all the time, we do the same gesture. We fight everyday, and then in a time We are laughting. I'm only child but it's like she was my sister since forever. And my parents think that too: My mother said that she is her adopted child haha. 

My best memory with Loreto is when I met in real life for first time. That was awesome because I talked with her like five years before we met out of chat. We met in "Portal Lyon", I think that was one of the best day of my life. 

She makes this draw for me. We are dancing (we always dance)

An expert that I admire

I don't really "admire" someone like a fan, but when I found out that Brazil had the first one Free Software system for the Public Management I got surprised, because I have tried to be an user of free plataforms (open software & open hardware) since I was ten years old. So I investigate about that fact and I discovered the people who was the "pioneer" in free software solutions for the Goverments: "Marcos Mazoni".

Marcos Mazoni was one of the first public officials in Brazil who started to foster the use of free software in all areas. His work began in the Private Sector like an activist but it expanded to other areas. 

His archivments are:
  • Development of the "Expresso Live", a software which offer e-mail, datebook, workflow for the Paraná Local Goverment. 
  • VoIP Calls System for the same Goverment
  • Paraná Digital, an initiative for the digital inclusion of many Public School.
  • And many others!

I like Marcos Mazoni because I belive that knowledge sharing is the key for the future. Free Software is one of many expressions of knowledge sharing. When you sell an idea you don't share any knowledge about it, by the hand, you want to protect your assets. But when you want to share your knowledge, in this case, the knowledge about programs, the first thing you do is to build a program without protections, so anybody can understand and modify that program. On the way, people don’t have to invent the program twice and, if one person have an idea, he can use our program and make it better.
