I am on my way back from FISL 10 in Porto Alegre, Brazil and what a great conference it was. The president of Brazil stopped in on Friday and addressed the crowd saying how important free software was and that "Free software prevailed [in Brazil] and we don't need to buy anymore only what Microsoft wants to sell". Hopefully Brazil will become even more of an example of how governments can and should adopt open source software.
