Yo no estoy inmerso en la actividad universitaria por el momento, y sí me identifico con el grupo de usuarios. Si de algo sirve, va una idea, a modo de grano de arena, para la respuesta. La respuesta está abierta a toda corrección, especialmente la peluda-filosófica parte del principio, que puede ser más discutible. De todas maneras, creo que deberíamos dar una repsueta cuanto antes a Andreas, si no esta, alguna otra, considerando su atención y la oportunidad de llamar la atención de las nuevas autoridades. Yo no encontré más que este párrafo en el plan del nuevo gobierno. "Una educación que genera y/o adapta ciencia y tecnología, y desarrolla procesos de formación técnica y tecnológica, incorporando críticamente los científicos y tecnológicos, y vinculándolos con “tecnologías apropiadasâ€�."... Lo que sigue es una opinión personal, no representa a las empresas para las que escribo o trabajo. Un abrazo a todos. > Hi, > > my name is Andreas Brunner.

Well, as you know, that is an economic term (Wikipedia: Neoliberalism refers to a political-economic philosophy that de-emphasizes or rejects government intervention in the domestic economy), mainly addressed to formulate laws to reconduct the economical behavior. In general terms, we suppose, this approach implies softening technologies which support market monopolization and enforcing the non-profit ones. If so, probably, we think, this may give a strong kick on using free software at all levels. And if so, lets see the impact. Free software, by the moment, is being used mainly at Universities, on government offices, mainly for servers, and on private enterprises. Very little on school education levels. And now, raises an important task: The implementation of the "Information Technologies And Communication National Strategy for Development" (Estrategia Nacional de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación Para el Desarrollo, not yet approved by the new administration). This policy, developed by last three governments, proposes to make the most of people to be inserted on the informatic society. In other words, to communicate all the country (In this moment, only 30% of cities and communities has access to the Internet, and only a little percentage of people inthat places use the computer). So, the policies are to make the informatic services to grow on this country. The opportunity for free software is really huge. More over, if you consider our fragile economic structure. The risks are also big. As a third-world-named country, is very easy for powerful countries to make donations which imply technical dependency (example: donations of thousands of -"""free"""- computers destinated to rural areas. Loaded with paid software). We technicians are making people to know about this threat. Politics play a fundamental role on this cases. We expect this new administration to be more transparent on this issues. That is what we see on the horizon. Anyway (independently of economical policies), the free software movement has been growing. We have great professionals and free software technicians. A lot of us are plenty identified with software freedom. With this new administration, we are turning to the step where we make this plans for real. In this context, you can see, the most of needs are for software oriented to the final user, and for educational purposes. There is a lot we must do, yet government will be considering hardware and software aspects on short-term time lapses. Including home/student users distributions as Ubuntu, where persons like you can give as some advice. Our best regards, (etc...) Estoy bien o estoy perdido? -- Rodolfo Alcazar - rodolfo.alcazar@...
