El Festival Latinoamericano de Instalación de Software Libre (FLISoL) es el evento de difusión de Software Libre más grande en Latinoamérica. Se realiza desde el año 2005 y su
principal objetivo es promover el uso del software libre, dando a conocer al público en general su filosofía, alcances, avances y desarrollo.
El proyecto Monkey HTTP Daemon y su comunidad, participarán del ciclo de charlas denominadas Rincón del Hacker. El objetivo de nuestra participación, es introducir a los asistentes en la arquitectura de Monkey HTTP Daemon, sus distintos componentes y la interfaz para desarrolladores (API).
El evento se llevará a cabo el día 29 de Mayo a las 9:30am en las dependencias de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile en el Centro de Eventos Nacionales e Internacionales, ubicado en Av. Libertador Bernardo O’Higgins #3363.

Today i’ve been summarizing how many different task are involved when you start an open source project, let’s see:
- Choose project name: for some people this task can take days!
- Choose project website URL: nowadays is difficult to find a short and cool domain name available
- Get a hosting, maybe sourceforge.net ? well, the right place to start
- Design your project logo and web site: you can install a CMS, but you need to spent time configuring and deciding contents that will be available
- Create a control version system repository: oh! svn or git ?, if so, where ? hmm
- Create a mailing list: you want to keep informed “someone” in the future!
- Create documentation: you know everything about your program, but what about others ?, not all end users are developers!
- Create a chat room: maybe the most easy step, don’t forget to set the topic if is an IRC channel and “save” the channel
- Register your project on a news site like freshmeat.net: the world must know about your project! not just your 2 friends!
- Invite people to participate: most of the successful projects are growing thanks to the community! you need people involved! (including fanboys!), if your project is interesting more than one will want to take part on it…
- Coding
Are you sure that you will handle the whole stuff by your own ?, an open project is not just the license attached, is about to let people collaborate and hear their ideas, they can contribute a lot…
Some weeks ago, I realized that Flisol in Ecuador will take place on Apr 18th instead of the official date (Apr 25th) due to the presidential elections.
As I’m on vacations in the beautiful city of Guayaquil-Ecuador, I decided to contact the organizer to apply to give a talk, so tomorrow I’ll be talking about the Monkey project… feel free to attend
This Saturday 29th, I’ll be giving a talk about the Monkey HTTP Daemon project in EON 2008,I’ll cover topics as HTTP, internal architecture, scalability, benchmarks and different kind of techniques to get better performance when developing applications under Linux.
People and future colaborators interested are welcome to attend, see you there!
