Hello, Ubuntu community!

Last April 27th, we had the honor of celebrating the Latin American Free Software Installation Festival (Flisol) in Barranquilla 2024. Organized by the LinuxBQ Community which we founded with my espoasa and it was an incredibly enriching event where we managed to gather #Speakers and #Workshops in pursuit of promoting the use of free software and open source in the city.

We also thank the allied communities of #LinuxBQ as they are; UbuntuCO, GDG_Barranquilla, Python_BAQ, AWS_Barranquilla, RedTeam_BAQ, LinuxDO(Linux Dominicana) and Flisol Medellin and Flisol Colombia, we believe that individually you can achieve goals but in a community way you can achieve success. we had attendees and even delegations from universities in the city of barranquilla and the rest of the Atlantic coast.

Each talk and workshop offered a unique perspective on how open source software is transforming different areas, from cybersecurity to artificial intelligence, to the empowerment of women in IT. In addition, we highlighted the importance of ethics and social responsibility in software development, a crucial topic in today’s technological world.

We thank all the speakers and participants for making Flisol Barranquilla 2024 a memorable event. It was a great opportunity to learn, share knowledge and connect with other open source enthusiasts.

We hope to see you in future events and continue promoting free software together!
