Had a really nice surprise waiting for me today at work in the form of an envelope covered with Brazilian postal stamps.
It was a gift from my friend Vladimir Melo, who saw an article written about the package management system Conary, product from the company I work for. There was also another article talking about the GNOME 2.18 release and the fact that it was completely translated to the Brazilian Portuguese language, thanks to the collaborative work of 16 people. Since I was one of them, it was nice to see our work being recognized like this.
I immediately gave the magazine to Ken Vandine, my co-worker and leader for the Foresight Linux project. Pretty much all of the GNOME screenshots in the magazine were taken using the Foresight Live CD and he was really looking forward to getting a copy of this issue for his collection.

Very Cool…
“Viva el GNOME!”
Hello,
You work for rPath? I was at “BARcamp Chicago” last weekend, and met and talked with Ken Vandine. He’s a cool guy, and really explained a lot about Conary to me. It sounds like a great package manager.
I look forward to Foresight Linux 2.0, which I understand will likely come with Xfce as a desktop environment option.
Since we’ve mentioned Foresight in our podcast in Brazil, every college I go people tell me that they tested Foresight or they downloaded the ISO and will test.
So far, no body had a bad experience. Every body seems to enjoy this distro and it is beautifully expanding in Brazil.
This article in the press about Conary proofs that.
