10th months ago when I start to train Karate I didn’t think about combat or participations in tournaments. But, I decide to have a try and do my best in Distrital Tournament. I start with Kata but I was eliminated on second round because a amateur mistake. Then I fight versus a really good fighter. I received several kicks and pounchs, because of that I lost 7 to 5. Then I have a second chance to fight for the bronze medal and I win the second challenge 1-0, with a lot of fear but a better technique.

This is my first meda, it hurts a lot, but it’s a good reason to continue learning, practicing and improving my skills, not only like karateka, also like a person. Here some photos

FLISoL Bogota 2009 was pretty good. In fact we receive more people that the expected, also counting all problems with networking, comunications, repositories and other stuffs. Don’t forget the responsability of install on a machine that isn’t yours. It´s a big stress charge.

Here you can foud installation stats and global stats. All thins numbers make us happy and show us that the work was good and there was a great team on the lead of this festival.

Now we have several challenges: A new place for FLISoL 2010 because the library was good but not enought, few space and some rules that make us change the usual festival ways to do the things. Also count with people more preparated and with better skills. And finally better internet and energy.

Special thanks to Ruri for all her work: she design Bogotá Festival’s image and also another 11th cities posters and flyers. Also she participate with 3 tutorials about graphical desing with open source software and OpenOffice. Ohh, and help me with all refered to press and comunications

Well here some photos

Ohhh almost forget, working with Mazter (Luis Baptiste) an some more quality lovers, swe decide to create the Mandriva Team Colombia
