In Cuba there is a community of Free Software
users and developers who have been working
-
Not Synced
on different activities and useful
developments to extend the use of Debian
-
Not Synced
and other Free Software projects
throughout the country
-
Not Synced
The first group that we have is the GUTL
The Free Tecnologies Users Group, in
-
Not Synced
Spanish - Grupo de Usuarios de Tecnologias
Libres, is an organisation in Cuba since
-
Not Synced
the development of the GNU/Linux users
communities of the whole country.

Not Synced
It pushes the usage of free technologies
organizing events, workshops, courses and
-
Not Synced
many more activities of social impact with
Free Software.

GUTL has a website in each they publish
many articles or news related with Debian
-
Not Synced

The GUTL was born in 2009 and since then
it has been one of the most influencial
-
Not Synced
organisations in Cuba to learn, use and
share Free Software, hardware and knowledge

Not Synced
The main work objectives of this
organisation are technological sovereignty

International visibility for Cuba in the
field for free software and free
-
Not Synced
Technologies.
-
Not Synced
Now we will know about free software
projects and it's achievements
-
Not Synced
The GUTL group has created a repository
called REPOGUTL which is an implementation
-
Not Synced
of something called the Cuban Sourceforge,
by their developers and users
-
Not Synced
where free software developers have the
opportunity to publicize their creations
-
Not Synced
and get feedback, promoting the migration
and use of Free Software to Cuban users.
-
Not Synced
This is the system which you could
find in the website
-
Not Synced
the repository generated with Cuban free
software called Alfidi is structured in two
-
Not Synced
major categories, these are applications
and products, with subcategories under them
-
Not Synced
and they include the title of the application,
the author, contacts if it is desired by the
-
Not Synced
creator, size, a brief description and a
long description in addition to the
-
Not Synced
instructions for installation.
-
Not Synced
These are the main developers of REPOGUTL
and maintainers, Maikel Enrique Pernia Matos
-
Not Synced
And Delio Orozco González.

-
Not Synced
packaged as .deb for our debian distribution
with the purpose of helping computer users
-
Not Synced
to create a customization of Debian
GNU/Linux adjusting it to their necessities
-
Not Synced
since an easy and well integrated
environment.

Not Synced
These are some screenshots of the program,
it's main purpose is to facilitate some

GNU/Linux operating system and to put
-
Not Synced
the packages the users want, to set the
graphical interface like Gnome, Kde [???]

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

Not Synced
external source.

There is another project called VideoMorph
which is a is a GUI wrapper for ffmpeg,
-
Not Synced
based on code from python-video-converter
and presets idea from QWinFF and FF Multi

Not Synced
or present some program to their users.
And they have also created a website
