Hi there,
in the next time I'm going to spend some time in Spain and so I wondered if there are many people interested in Free Software there, especially in Valencia, where I am at the moment.
The mailing list fsfe-es seems somewhat abandoned and it is not easy to find information on the internet because my spanish is still not too good.
But I as far as I noticed, Free Software should be kind of a big thing in Spain.
Welcome to Spain!
I'm FSFE fellow, and live in Madrid. I don't know any other fellows here :/ If you happen to come to Madrid and want to meet, sign GPG keys and have a coffee, drop a line.
There is an active community about free software in public administrations in Spain, the 'forum' that I know is the http://lists.forja.cenatic.es/listinfo/foroaapp-list mailing list, we post in Spanish but if you post in English I'm sure you'll receive answers and pointers to Free software people in Valencia.
There are Debian Developers in Valencia, as far as I know, maybe you want to write to https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-spanish/ to ask.
There is an association of free software related companies in the Community of Valencia, http://asolival.com (in Spanish) and email info@asolival.es
GvSIG, the famous free software geographical information system, was born in Valencia and it has a strong community there. The website of the association GvSIG is in several languages (including English) and they will hold an international Congress in Valencia next December:
Finally, the autonomous government of Valencia leads the "Lliurex" GNU/Linux distro. Last May there was the V Congress of free software of Valencia, maybe you can online-translate the page of the program, or scrap the names of the speakers and contact them: http://mestreacasa.gva.es/web/congreso/4
If I remember another related links, I'll post them to the list.
Regards
