			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back to Stockholm! I&#8217;ve spent this whole weekend in Barcelona in the <a href="http://fcforum.net">Free Culture Forum</a>, working together with more than a hundred people from all over the world to debate about how to face the new (and old) challenges with copyright, net neutrality and education, among others, and decide the next actions to take.</p>
<p>First of all, I&#8217;d like to congratulate and thank everyone who contributed to organize and manage this. Despite the lack of a solid financial and human support, the forum was an undeniable success in terms of organization &#8211; I felt like at home and had a real good time.</p>
<p>Our main task was to elaborate a document reflecting our vision, goals and demands. We worked in five groups: Education, Economy, Politics, Digital Infrastructure Rights and Legal. I worked on Education since I was invited to the event in representation of <a href="http://alqua.org">Alqua</a>.</p>
<p>Since the document has been composed with the input of so many people, I&#8217;m a bit concerned about its coherence and homogeneity, so I&#8217;ll advocate for several different proof-reads before publishing anything, including mine. Also, the idea is that the different individuals and organizations who attended the forum will sign it as a whole, so we have to be very careful with the inclusion of any &#8220;too&#8221; radical demand in order to reach a reasonably broad acceptance.</p>
<p>One of the atendees suggested that we should speak about the next steps we, as individuals, either representing a project/group or not, will take to achieve the goals stated in our chart. I think this is rather important since otherwise (and even if we do so) we&#8217;re in risk of this awesome forum to become no more than a declaration of intentions, an utopy, without any real commitment of work and thus failed. Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; I&#8217;m the first who starts slackering and procrastrinating if I don&#8217;t state my own commitments clearly. So here are my agenda of next actions, which I will post to our (hopefully upcoming) mailing list:</p>
<p>- Concact the Spanish universities and ask them to upload their already existing educational material to OAI-enabled repositories. <a href="http://www.openarchives.org/">OAI</a> is a metadata standard for easy dissemination of content. Contact Ignasi Labastida (Creative Common Spain), who showed us some of the different tools available, to help me to understand how these repositories work.</p>
<p>- Place the already existing Alqua documents in OAI-enabled repositories, or create a new one, to increase their visibility.</p>
<p>- Contact David Gómez-Ullate, who is currently leading a (publicly funded!) pedagogical innovation project to use free software in some courses and research work in Universidad Complutense de Madrid.</p>
<p>- Investigate the current use of Free Software in the Spanish universities to find out use cases and good practices.</p>
<p>This is all <em>for now</em>, friends. If you&#8217;re (even slightly) interested in helping or have any suggestions, don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me! :)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week I&#8217;m attending a summer course with this name in Cáceres, Spain. The course covers topics like New Technologies&#8217; role inside a collaborative sharing and learning community, legal bits of copyleft and copyright or free as in beer knowledge.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to speak the following Thursday (tomorrow morning) about Alqua, the famous community targeted to producing, distributing and improving free knowledge using free documents. I&#8217;m not confident about what I&#8217;m going to tell the atendees of such an important event, but I think I&#8217;m going to architect the presentation into three parts: what on earth is Alqua, a bit of its history, and current and future projects in our minds.</p>
<p>Last night I met Cikgu, member of the <span style="font-style: italic;">hackrs</span> group in the País Vasco, and we enjoyed an <span style="font-style: italic;">al fresco</span> dinner, talking about literature, films, and the concepts of intellectual property along the History.</p>
<p>I was working on my awful Alqua presentation until 2 am, with an horrible heat in my hotel room, just to discover this morning that I have an air conditioning system installed in it. Argh!</p>

<p>Puede que sea un tópico, un prejuicio, o como lo quieran llamar, pero en los proyectos en los que yo colaboro, como pueden ser <a href="http://www.alqua.org">Alqua</a>, <a href="http://www.mozilla-hispano.org">Mozilla Hispano</a> o <a href="http://www.flock.com">Flock</a>, no participa ningna chica, o se esconden tras una montaña de nombres masculinos. En el <a href="http://www.fosdem.org/">FOSDEM</a>, en Bruselas, las chicas que fueron eran las novias de los frikis asistieron, con excepción de Anne-Julie.</p>
<p>¿Qué es lo que pasa, que hay algo intrínseco en el código abierto que las espanta? ¿Será que no les molan los ñus ni los pingüinos, con lo molones que son? A lo mejor es que no les gusta tener el culo en la silla y prefieren bailar. Quién sabe.</p>
<p>En relación con esto, <a href="http://diary.braniecki.net/about-me/">Zbigniew Braniecki</a> publicó <a href="http://labs.braniecki.net/survey/floss/">una encuesta sociológica </a>para averiguar qué es lo que motiva a los voluntarios de proyectos de software de código abierto, si es por conseguir méritos, por aprender, porque les gusta mirar pantallas con la boca abierta o porque ven en ello un buen negocio. Todo ello a través de un extenso y detallado cuestionario digno de admiración por su profesionalidad.</p>
<p>Animo a todos los que colaboren en algún proyecto de este rollo a que <a href="http://labs.braniecki.net/survey/floss/">hagan el cuestionario</a>. Se entenderán mejor a si mismos, o al menos eso es lo que me ha ocurrido a mí.</p>

<p>Estoy cansado de copiar, de copiar como una máquina lo que los profesores escriben en la pizarra, lo comprenda o me suene a chino, sean dibujos o figuras.</p>
<p>El 2 de julio voy a participar en una mesa redonda en el Curso Internacional de Verano de la Universidad de Extremadura, &#8220;Desaprender la Propiedad Intelectual&#8221;, como representante del proyecto Alqua, y he pensado en hacer una encuesta:<br />
<br style="font-style: italic" /><span style="font-style: italic">Si sabes que lo que está escribiendo el profesor en la pizarra lo puedes encontrar en un libro, ¿por qué lo copias todo?<br />
</span><br />
Las respuestas más populares pueden ser <span style="font-style: italic">porque si no no me acuerdo de lo que se dio en clase</span> o <span style="font-style: italic">porque en los libros no viene justo lo que yo me tengo que aprender</span> pero, sea como sea, está claro que tener que copiar a toda velocidad no ayuda en absoluto a comprender la lección. ¿Quién no ha descubierto alguna vez que no entiende sus propios apuntes? ¿Alguna vez han tenido un profesor que parecía copiar en la pizarra lo que tenía en un papel para que lo copiasen sus alumnos a su vez? ¿No sería más productivo que nos diese ese papel y nos lo explicase?</p>
<p>Aquí es donde entra en juego el proyecto Alqua, ayudando a difundir el conocimiento para acabar con el antiguo sistema de yo-te-suelto-el-rollo-y-tú-copias, porque como verdaderamente se aprende en una clase es participando con preguntas y respuestas. Porque todos podemos aprender de todos, intentaremos que estas ideas formen parte de la discusión sobre las nuevas metodologías docentes de los nuevos grados.</p>
