Several things happened in these months, so I will try to resume it. The best things was that I could participate of the DebConf 2019 on Curitiba Brasil. Thanks for Debian organization and SPI I could travel to Brazil to participate on my first DebConf. There, I can knew a lot of people that I know just from email or blogs. I participate on the Geographical Diversity BoF (https://debconf19.debconf.org/talks/138-geographical-diversity-bof/) where we talk about exist very few amount of open developers on southern hemisphere.

On July I participate on the «Feria del Libro» in my city La Rioja (Argentina). I talk about «Software Libre: El qué, el cómo y el por qué» (Free Software: what, how and why). My intention was introduce to people about danger of the use of Private Software, that was a talk to not IT people.
