All presentations of the IWEEE 2012 Granada: Commitment are available here 

IWEEE 2012 Granada

As we announced in the last few months, on January 11th. and 12th. the 5th edition of IWEEE in Granada took place. This edition was hold during the 2012 OSWC (Open Source World Conference) in Granada.

IWEEE Group

What can I say about this edition?! I really believe that, since the first one, we have gone a long long way. This edition was a little bit different from the previous ones: all the presentations were on the 11th. (speakers program) and on the 12th. the Round Table - Unconference took place in the Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos de Granada, during the 2012 Open Source World Conference (OSWC).

S. Cordara and J. Kafer

The speeches were interesting and really gave space to a great debate on the next day. The idea of IWEEE has always been that of being a space to create new ideas and reflexions. Both speakers and public are always more than welcome to participate with questions, thoughts, solutions, projects ...

The IWEEE meetings are growing each year. Thanks to the contribution of each participant in the Unconference - Round Table, we could analyze the real use of free software in the e-health sector and create a set of tasks for each participant, in order to work on them and give some real solutions for the next edition.

GNU Solidario is a very small organization trying to reach out and MAKE A DIFFERENCE. We have many people to thank:



Dr. Salleh, Dr. Syed and Dr. Nurhizam from United Nations University, Institute of Global Health,  for their presentations, round table and for sponsoring the event. During the event, UNU-IIGH and GNU Solidario, materialized the partnership to deploy GNU Health, the Free Health and Hospital Information System, globally.

Our little but powerful community is growing faster and faster. This year slogan was COMMITMENT ... or, we could better say, the LACK OF IT .... We are working hard in order to deliver real solutions and improve the quality of current e-Health systems. Strangely there were no representatives from the Andalusian Autonomous Government (Junta de Andalucia) ... We hope to see you at the next edition.

We know that cooperation between individuals, public administrations and governments in adopting Free Software in public health is the key for all of us to have access to good quality health care. This is GNU Solidario mission: Health and Education with Free Software.

There's always time to eat and for a picture. Great tapas in Granada !!!

We hope you had a good time as we did. We would love to hear from you, please let us know your thoughts about the event.


I will post more pictures in the next few days, until then ...


Be Free ... as in Freedom !

Latinoware Day 3

At the airport waiting

With a bit of nostalgia and sadness we finally got to the last day of Latinoware and IWEEE ...

Like it always happens in these events, the adrenaline of the previous planning and the end of it leave us with a sour taste !

The last day of Latinoware was very intense, especially for the meetings with all the people met at IWEEE 2011 and for the commitments with the press for the interviews. 

I leave you with a potpourri of "profesional " and "social" pictures.

A special acknowledgment to Joice Käfer, Cesar Brod and to the team of Latinoware that made all this possible: Joanne Candida, Michelle, Daniela Priscila de Oliveira Veronezi, Marcos Siriacos Martins and many more ...
