Orlando Marcelo | 12 April 2008Dear friends of Ecuador, I'm from Argentina and I can only congratulate you on what I consider a progress grandisimo for the progress of his country (and why not all of Latin America).
On the other hand, let me say that I feel a healthy envy as Argentine citizen, to see how Latin American sister nations (Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela) progress in achieving technological independence and local technology development promotion from free and open software, while here in Argentina seem to recede at a rapid pace (steps backwards, unfortunately):
http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-101874-2008-04-04.html (closed Scioli - Bill Gates)
It only remains to us, follow the example of you and other government agencies around the world (Munich, Extremadura, India, etc, etc, etc) that have been able to overcome the great economic interests and work towards the good of the citizens of the country, which should always be the normal course of any government decision.
Congratulations and congratulations Rafael Esteban, who work hard to Ecuador, the two countries the likes of India, Canada, China and New Zealand and 14 other countries express a categorical rejection of the devaluation of the standards (and I mean the infamous fast-track OOXML (Office Open XML)).
A greeting!

My name is Sandra and I teach the EPN. First of all it congratulates the Presidential Decree. Second, I write to-fulfillment the following invitation: On 29 and 30 May will be held at the National Polytechnic Marathon Interuniversity Programming and Software Competition EPN2008. We are invited to participate as contestants to all the universities that have Race Systems Engineering and / or marriage. In this context, I wrote to Mario Albuja and also wanted to write directly to you, as we are very concerned that the Secretariat of Informatics we collaborate as a sponsor of the event through a representative who is serving as Jury Member Qualifier different categories of the event. Sure to have your support, I ask you tell me which would be the process to formalize this sponsored by the Department of Computer Science. Also, I have this same request to the ASLE but do not know who is the President when and how to contact you? Please respond to my email sandra_sanchezg@yahoo.com or cel 098,123,841. Many thanks.
