Mixtape Volumen uno por Rockonola.com
Saturday, May 16th, 2009Una mixtape es una recopilación de canciones, normalmente con copyright y recogidas de otras fuentes, grabadas tradicionalmente en un casete. Las canciones pueden encontrarse de forma secuencial o agrupadas por características comunes como año de publicación, género u otros aspectos más subjetivos. Como consecuencia también han surgido mixtapes de vídeos.
Rockonola.com es el nuevo sitio para la música. Creemos en la música como arte y como medio para contactarse con las nuevas generaciones y los espíritus jóvenes siempre en búsqueda del sonido de los tiempos que vivimos.
Una vez entendido estos dos términos, rockonola ha liberado el mixtape volume one, dentro de este mixtape podrán encontrar musica de Costa Rica, Ecuador, España, Argentina y por supuesto de Nicaragua, compuesto por 18 temas musicales de los cuales, 10 de ellos de artistas nacionales como Monroy y Sourmenage, Cecilia Ferrer y los argonautas, Clara Grun, Carlos Lumbi, entre otros.
Que es lo llamativo de este mixtape? aparte de contar con musica Nica, el mixtape se anexa a la lista de musica Nica liberada bajo licencia Creative Commons, aqui ya contamos con algunos artistas liberando musica bajo CC como Tmoli y Cecilia Ferrer. Al ser un mixtape con licencia Creative Commons, las canciones que lo componen fueron liberadas por los artistas bajo licencia Creative Commons de igual manera. Una gran noticia para el movimiento de cultura libre.
Espero ver mucho mas mixtapes liberados siempre con licencia Creative Commons, y que mas artistas sigan liberando su musica con Creative Commons.
Podes descargar el mixtape desde aqui.
EARTH HOUR
Saturday, March 28th, 2009For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.
In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.

Linux Tour en San Pedro Sula
Friday, March 20th, 2009Estamos terminando ahorita el Linux Tour en la universidad UNITEC San Pedro Sula. La asistencia y la participación estuvo muy buena. Nos acompañaron estudiantes de cuatro colegios de secundaria quienes se encargaron de llenar el auditorio. Se hizo la presentación oficial de la comunidad Ubuntu Honduras, nos visitaron de la ciudad de Progreso, luego nos abordo un compañero de un instituto de computación sin fines de lucro quienes tienen ya un tiempo trabajando con software libre, y se acordó la colaboración de ellos con la comunidad Ubuntu Honduras.
La asistencia que tuvimos fue de 320 personas, auditorio lleno. Por la mañana se dieron conferencias, por la tarde se hicieron demostraciones de aplicaciones libres como stellarium, inkscape, gimp, blender, como crear un usb live de Fedora. Los participantes con muchas dudas sobre software libre que fueron muy bien resueltas por todo el equipo que estuvo apoyando.
Quiero agradecer a la comunidad Hondureña por todo el apoyo que dieron para el evento, sin duda muy buen apoyo y espero que mas adelante podamos volver a mas eventos como estos, algo me dice que no tenian ni la mas mínima idea de a que se estaban metiendo con este evento. El evento a mi parecer estuvo mas que excelente, tomando en cuenta que es el primer evento organizado por ellos, les quedo muy bien.
En una hora partimos para Tegucigalpa donde nos va a estar esperando cesarius y mañana nos vamos al Linux Tour Tegucigalpa en la UNPFM, ya todo esta listo por allá para empezar a las 8:30 AM, aun no me han confirmado pero esta pensada la visita de unos amigos de la comunidad de usuarios de software libre de El Salvador, así que pretende ser un evento muy bueno también.
