FISL 11 was very good, altough some technical issues. The picture below was taken at the first day, when the stands’ area was closed, yet “under construction”:

On the second day everything was stabilized and many laptops came to our “island” to be installed or to have something configured, like webcams, 3g modems…

Unfortunately many ubunteros couldn’t go, but a very good team was there, most of Sao Paulo regional team of Ubuntu-BR. A special thanks to: Kemel Zaidan, Marcos Amorim (Mosca), Alexsandro Carvalho (Muambeiro), Diego Rodrigues, Thiago Bellini, (Aspira), Kretcheu (and someone else I may forgot the name) and André Gondim, who organized many things and made the main contacts.

Also we had a nice help from Fuctura (a brazilian Canonical partner), who gave us the banner and some gifts to share. Look the pictures below when the gifts was being raffled:

5º Ubuntu Brazil National Meeting

At the last day we had the 5º Ubuntu Brazil National Meeting, where we could talk about our community, how to participate and help. It was cool, because there were people from many places and we talked especially about Ubuntu-BR Regional Teams.

Also it was nice to find/meet some persons we only talked virtually and discover that they really exists…

Install Fest

Fortunately today the Linux install is very easy and we don’t need so much install fests, but many machines was installed there (I don’t know the number). Many people liked to see this MacBook Air running Ubuntu:

Lastly, FISL 11 was very good. We met more ubunteros we could imagine. Also many others user groups was there and it was nice to talk with them. Other distros also made a nice job there.

Now, let’s go to the Latinoware, FISL 12, and many others…

First, you have to enable two options on Labs (don’t know what’s Labs? Go to the end of the post, later came back).

Enable “Canned responses”:

And “Inserting images”:

So, click on “Compose Mail” and write a blank mail, just with your desired signature:

Then insert the image you want (look the button selected above):

It will be something like that:

Then you save you canned response:

And name it (please, a good name, easy to remember):

And this is it! You have created you signature with image!

And how can I use?

Well, write anything… Like that:

Then, insert your canned response:

And your mail will be something like that:

This is it.

Like Google says: “Gmail Labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren’t quite ready for primetime. They may change,break or disappear at any time.”

In a short way, Labs are very nice add-ons to your mail. Be careful, it addicts.

Wow! I’m amazed! How they can do something so cool with just three circles (or elipses)?? If you want to buy one to send me, the link is: https://shop.canonical.com

Well, you may know the Cisco quality, so it is a very good deal to buy good equipments at low cost. Although Cisco is the main manufacturer, they sell equipments from other companies, as seen at they networking gear.

But what’s the main worry when you’re about to buy some refurbished equipment? You may think: ‘And if I buy something that’s not working very well?’ Knowing this, they provide a 1-year standard warranty.

Still, they provide a service page where you can find an iten or call in an emergency situation. It’s nice to know that if you are in the middle of a crisis you can have a quick resolution. Multilink says that can solve quickly you problem due they have a large inventory which ‘ensures greater product access to fulfill your most diverse requirements’. Yet they ship equipment at the same day in many cases. And they even ship to world wide.

I’m not so good in networking issues, but I know that if we need good equipments, we need someone to call, expecially in emergency cases.

I just received by mail suggestions about LG Cell Phone Covers and LG shine case. If you have a LG phone, please look at this, it may be useful. Since I bought a cover to my phone I can carry it on my belt or in my pocket with no troubles.

Or if you need to buy faceplates, chargers, data cables, or other stuff, you could search for LG or Motorola cell phone accessories. You can boost your phone or simply replace something that has a problem.

Don’t give up from your phone, you can do something cool with some accessories.
