Hi everybody

I will share with some experiences about
activities that are taking place

nowadays in Cuba and also related with
the Debian Project

Who am I? I am Jonathan Bustillos Osornio 
(Jathan) also

I am a Debian contributor and a Debian
user since 2008 and I have been helping

on some teams like po-debconf templates,
translations in the Debian Spanish

Translation Team since 2011 and on Debian
Reproducible Builds in 2017

In Cuba there is a community of Free Software
users and developers who have been working

on different activities and useful
developments to extend the use of Debian

and other Free Software projects 
throughout the country

The first group that we have is the GUTL
The Free Tecnologies Users Group, in

Spanish - Grupo de Usuarios de Tecnologias
Libres, is an organisation in Cuba since

the development of the GNU/Linux users
communities of the whole country.

It pushes the usage of free technologies
organizing events, workshops, courses and

many more activities of social impact with
Free Software.

Some of this events are like the Free
Document Day related with Libreoffice

And this are the pictures of the events,
also the FLISol the Latin American

Festival Free Software Instalation

Also recreation activities

GUTL has a website in each they publish
many articles or news related with Debian

and another Free Software projects.

The GUTL was born in 2009 and since then
it has been one of the most influencial

organisations in Cuba to learn, use and
share Free Software, hardware and knowledge

The main work objectives of this 
organisation are technological sovereignty

Social Comptroller, socialization of
Information, Project development

International visibility for Cuba in the
field for free software and free

Technologies.

Now we will know about free software 
projects and it's achievements

The GUTL group has created a repository 
called REPOGUTL which is an implementation

of something called the Cuban Sourceforge,
by their developers and users

where free software developers have the 
opportunity to publicize their creations

and get feedback, promoting the migration
and use of Free Software to Cuban users.

This is the system which you could
find in the website

the repository generated with Cuban free
software called Alfidi is structured in two

major categories, these are applications
and products, with subcategories under them

and they include the title of the application,
the author, contacts if it is desired by the

creator, size, a brief description and a
long description in addition to the

instructions for installation.

These are the main developers of REPOGUTL
and maintainers, Maikel Enrique Pernia Matos

And Delio Orozco González.

Also we have a free software project called
MISOX

Misox is of set of Free Software
applications developed by Maikel Pernía

Matos , Delio Orozco González and
Alberto Miguel Nuevo Rojo in the

province of Manzanillo Granma in Cuba, 
under the GNU GPL license and also

packaged as .deb for our debian distribution
with the purpose of helping computer users

to create a customization of Debian 
GNU/Linux adjusting it to their necessities

since an easy and well integrated 
environment.

These are some screenshots of the program,
it's main purpose is to facilitate some

computer users customization of debian
GNU/Linux operating system and to put

the packages the users want, to set the
graphical interface like Gnome, Kde [???]

like Fluxbox, Awesome, I3

And also it offers the possibility to add
individual debian packages from an

external source.

There is another project called VideoMorph
