And eBox 1.0(rc1) was presented
As I announced previously, eBox 1.0 (the first release candidate of 1.0, to be more accurate) was publicly presented last Tuesday in an event hosted at the Aragon Institute of Technology in front of some 120 managers and professionals of the IT industry in the region. During the event we unveiled the commercial strategy and the business development plan that we are following with eBox. We also explained how and why we have separated eBox from Warp, founding a new spin-off to get to the market and continue its development. From the feedback that I heard at the end of the event, people were surprised and impressed about eBox, both because of the level of its innovation and because of the business approach and results that we are having already now. It was also quite impressive (and emotional) to hear the representatives of the Government of Aragon and the City of Zaragoza praising both Warp and eBox as two great show cases 
The event has had a lot of media coverage in the printed regional papers and on the online sites, such as europapress, aragoninvestiga, cenatic, opensourceworldconference or somoslibres.org among many others.
But this was not the only interesting activity on the week: on Saturday the City of Zaragoza organized (with the support from Warp) the Day of Free Software, an event combining a didactic conference with an install party. It was a great success and some 3,000 CDs of Ubuntu were given for free. It was quite a new sensation to see people queuing with their computers waiting for help to install Ubuntu in their machines.
And now I am at Malaga at the Open Source World Conference which very probably is going to be a very interesting event
