We at Onirica considered sponsoring Gran Canaria Desktop summit. However it was too expensive for us (hopefully we can make it next year!). So this is our little contribution:
Gran Canaria Desktop Summit Teaser ContestRules are simple:
- Create a video promoting Gran Canaria Desktop Summit, GUADEC 2009 or Akademy 2009
- Upload it to a public video site
- You can blog about it, but make sure that you send an email to gdsteaser@onirica.com
- You can submit any number of videos until 26th June 00:00 GMT
- In 27th the jury (composed by Onirica employees and two semi-professional movie-makers) we'll announce the winner
- The prize for the winner is 100 EUR to be spent on amazon items
I created one video myself using
GIMP:
GUADEC 2009 Teaser 1, that is, of course is out of competition :).
So go and create your teaser videos!
Since last March I'm not working anymore al Novell. The good news is that I'm working back at my own company: Onirica:

We founded it about ten years ago and we had lot of nice experiences and projects related to Open Source technologies. Around 2004, as we were a quite small company, we decided to move on and get some experience working on others big companies. That's how I worked at Tecsidel (where Carlos joined later), Nokia (with some really amazing guys, you know all of them) and Novell (with also lot of amazing people). Now I have decided to get back to Onirica, using all the experience we have adquired in our Open Source involvemnt to offer development, consulting and traning services. Currently we are working on a project with CENATIC designing and developing an "Open Source Desktop applications development" course. I'll keep you soon updated about this exiting project.
