+On Saturday April 26th, <uri |
| 43 |
+link="http://www.installfest.info/FLISOL2008">FLISoL 2008</uri>, Latin America's |
| 44 |
+largest Free Software promotional and installfest ended, having taken place more |
| 45 |
+or less simultaneously throughout Latin America. In Venezuela, it was hosted in |
| 46 |
+the capital city Caracas and other cities such as Barquisimeto, Cumaná, Los |
| 47 |
+Teques, Maracaibo, Mérida, San Cristóbal and Valencia. |
| 48 |

+ |
| 50 |
+<p> |
| 51 |
+As well as being a free-for-all, catch-as-catch-can multiple distro installfest |
| 52 |
+and promotion event, it also featured interesting talks on a wide variety of |
| 53 |
+subjects, including clusters, web development frameworks, security, VOIP and the |
| 54 |
+Gimp, among others. |
| 55 |

+In Caracas, the event was hosted at the <uri |
| 59 |
+link="http://ve.iseit.net/">ISEIT</uri>, where a small group of enthusiastic |
| 60 |
+Gentoo users and devs, amongst which were angvp, alberkmann, neurogeek, |
| 61 |
+sebasmagri, <mail link="ricmm"/> and <mail link="chiguire"/>, gathered to |
| 62 |
+expound upon the multiple virtues of everyone's favourite meta-distro to all |
| 63 |
+comers, live as well as on irc (#gentoo-ve on irc.freenode.net), while at the |
| 64 |
+same time racing to complete installs on wide variety of machines, |
| 65 |
+troubleshooting hardware, handing out Gentoo minimal install and LiveCDs right, |
| 66 |
+left and centre and even having time to demonstrate Frets on Fire on Gentoo. A |
| 67 |
+few Gentoo lappies sported highly tweaked e17 desktops, laden with eye candy |
| 68 |
+that caught everyone's attention. |

| 72 |
+In Mérida, Gentoo LiveCDs were hot items too, as was the demonstration of games |
| 73 |
+running on Gentoo. Many Gentoo enthusiasts were also reported at the Maracaibo |
| 74 |
+event. |
