Last Wednesday the administration team of Morfeo met at Rey Juan Carlos University in a workshop. Members of the administration team coming from Computer Network & Web Technologies Lab of Computer Science Faculty of Politechnic University of Madrid, from Centre for Excellence in Software Technologies of Telefónica I+D and Libresoft Reseach Group of Rey Juan Carlos University discussed about the situation of Morfeo’s systems, new improvements and coodination topics.
The session went around the following index:
Morfeo Project: processes and structure.
HA Architecture.
Network configuration.
Community services: blogs, wikis, Gforge, webdav, etc.
Improvments discussion.
At last, we were about fiveteen people and the workshop lasted almost 4 hours. The discussion were quite interesting so we are thinking in new session in the following months.

The history of FOSS can be traced back to academic origins: distributing source code under a permissive license was the de facto rule in academia in the 70’s. Since then, FOSS became a wide spread paradigm throughout the software industry, and its alignment with academic goals tended to be forgotten.
The fOSSa (Free/Open Source Software Academia) Conference is mainly focused on academia and research centres needs but it’s open to industry as well, since in many cases academia needs industrials and vice versa. The conference reviews Open Source fundamentals (Business models, licenses, collaboration, communities, promotion, exploitation, sustainability, european projects) and presents innovating Open Source projects as well as communities experiences.
Confirmed speakers include Clement Escoffier (Apache Community), Ralph Mueller (Director of Eclipse Foundation Europe), HP Fossology, INRIA (Luc Grateau and Jean Bernard Stefani), Arnaud Laprévote (Director R&D Mandriva), Roberto Di Cosmo, and many more.
The fOSSa Conference (where Open Source meets Academia) is co-organised by INRIA and OW2 Europe Local Chapter and takes place in the World Trade Center building in Grenoble, France (Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Grenoble) on 17th and 18th November 2009.
Jornadas de Software libre
de la Universidad de Murcia
Los próximos días 4 y 5 de Noviembre tendrán lugar en la Universidad de Murcia las jornadas de software libre conocidas como Días Caldum. Organizadas desde la universidad pero dirigidas a todo tipo de público, tienen como objetivo el fomento de comunidades de usuarios, de estudio y de desarrollo de las tecnologías libres. En definitiva, dar a conocer soluciones informáticas dentro del mundo del software libre aplicadas a la docencia y la investigación.
En esta edición, gracias a la colaboración del Grupo de Software Libre de RedIris, IRISLibre, se contarán con talleres de Brutalix y TCOS impartidos por desarrolles de dichas comunidades. Por su parte la Comunidad Morfeo sera presentada por Andrés L. Martínez el día 4 a las 11:00. La agenda completa del evento podéis encontrarla aqui.
Los Días Caldum tendrán lugar en el salón de actos de la Facultad de Informática los días 4 y 5 de Noviembre de 09:00 hasta las 19:30 y son de acceso libre, si bien, para facilitar la organización se requiere inscripción previa.
