Hi everybody

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I will share with some experiences about
activities that are taking place

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
nowadays in Cuba and also related with
the Debian Project

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Who am I? I am Jonathan Bustillos Osornio 
(Jathan) also


5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I am a Debian contributor and a Debian
user since 2008 and I have been helping

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on some teams like po-debconf templates,
translations in the Debian Spanish

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Translation Team since 2011 and on Debian
Reproducible Builds in 2017

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In Cuba there is a community of Free Software
users and developers who have been working

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on different activities and useful
developments to extend the use of Debian

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and other Free Software projects 
throughout the country

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The first group that we have is the GUTL
The Free Tecnologies Users Group, in

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Spanish - Grupo de Usuarios de Tecnologias
Libres, is an organisation in Cuba since

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the development of the GNU/Linux users
communities of the whole country.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It pushes the usage of free technologies
organizing events, workshops, courses and

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
many more activities of social impact with
Free Software.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Some of this events are like the Free
Document Day related with Libreoffice

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this are the pictures of the events,
also the FLISol the Latin American

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Festival Free Software Instalation

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Also recreation activities

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
GUTL has a website in each they publish
many articles or news related with Debian

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and another Free Software projects.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The GUTL was born in 2009 and since then
it has been one of the most influencial

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
organisations in Cuba to learn, use and
share Free Software, hardware and knowledge

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The main work objectives of this 
organisation are technological sovereignty

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Social Comptroller, socialization of
Information, Project development

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
International visibility for Cuba in the
field for free software and free

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Technologies.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now we will know about free software 
projects and it's achievements

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The GUTL group has created a repository 
called REPOGUTL which is an implementation

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of something called the Cuban Sourceforge,
by their developers and users

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
where free software developers have the 
opportunity to publicize their creations

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and get feedback, promoting the migration
and use of Free Software to Cuban users.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is the system which you could
find in the website

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the repository generated with Cuban free
software called Alfidi is structured in two

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
major categories, these are applications
and products, with subcategories under them

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and they include the title of the application,
the author, contacts if it is desired by the

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
creator, size, a brief description and a
long description in addition to the

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
instructions for installation.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These are the main developers of REPOGUTL
and maintainers, Maikel Enrique Pernia Matos

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And Delio Orozco González.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Also we have a free software project called
MISOX

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Misox is of set of Free Software
applications developed by Maikel Pernía

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Matos , Delio Orozco González and
Alberto Miguel Nuevo Rojo in the

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
province of Manzanillo Granma in Cuba, 
under the GNU GPL license and also

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
packaged as .deb for our debian distribution
with the purpose of helping computer users

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to create a customization of Debian 
GNU/Linux adjusting it to their necessities

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
since an easy and well integrated 
environment.

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These are some screenshots of the program,
it's main purpose is to facilitate some

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
computer users customization of debian
GNU/Linux operating system and to put

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the packages the users want, to set the
graphical interface like Gnome, Kde [???]

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like Fluxbox, Awesome, I3

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And also it offers the possibility to add
individual debian packages from an

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
external source.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There is another project called VideoMorph
which is a is a GUI wrapper for ffmpeg,


55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
based on code from python-video-converter
and presets idea from QWinFF and FF Multi

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Converter, developed by Ozkar L. Garcell, 
Leodanis Pozo Ramos and Leonel Salazar

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Videaux in Holguín, Cuba.

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And this is the screenshot.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The mais goal of VideoMorph is to focus
is a single purpose making video conversion

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
simple with an easy to use GUI and allowing
the user to convert to the currently most

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
popular video formats.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
These are the colleagues that are working
on the group of GUTL in Holguín.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And they also organize activities to talk
about some free software community

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or present some program to their users.
And they have also created a website

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
called Debian GNU/Linux in Holguín, 
that is Debian Hlg, and in this website

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they publish news related to Debian,
events that are organized in this part

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of the far east of Cuba in Holguín, and 
it's a very nice way to stay in contact

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with the local users.
