Pablo Lorenzoni on his blog, Nardol , has two good posts on Brazilian President's visit to FISL . The first, explaining the preparatives for the presidential visit on FISL10 day 2 1 And the second telling about the visit itself, on: FISL10 day3 - the day I met the President o This one, specially, had two good parts which deserves note, the first is the picture which shows what I had told on " Stallman and Pirate meet Brazilian President ": At the front layer, you can clearly see, from left to rigth, Peter Sunde (green jacket), Richard Stallman (red shirt) and Mr. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the Brazilian President.

Well it actually happened, as I was foreseeing , Richard Stallman and Peter Sunde had met the Brazilian President.

The Brazilian President defends the freedom on the internet and importance of collaboration. He said on his speach, after meet Richard Stallman, Marcelo Branco, Mad Dog, Mario Teza, Pablo, Sergio Amadeu, Marcos Mazoni, Marcelo Tossati, Peter Sunde, Bruno Souza among other: “the internet must still ”… “On my government is forbiden to forbid.”…”The fredom is source of the creativity”. I was there, and the president's speech was really impressive. P.S.: Lula had also met Karlison Bezerra ;-)

Today's afternoon Peter Sunde (from Pirate Bay) and Richard Stallman (FSF) will meet Luis Inacio, the Brazilian President on the biggest Free Software convention on Latin America, the International Free Software Forum (FISL). Stallman and Peter Sunde, both had talks on FISL's 10th edition ( #spectrial - How piracy became theatre , The Pirate Bay uncovered , The Danger of Software Patents , Copyright vs Community ) and today's news on the presidential audience leads us to foresee the obvious meting. This year's FISL is the biggest of all times, with 8157 attendees and still counting, it has talks on 6 diferent builngs trought the University Campus. And we start getting the twitts about the presidential visit .
