After knowing the rank of Free Software universities in Spain and Latin America, the Rusl 2015, in which Miguel Hernández de Elche is the one that stands out more clearly among seventy six Spanish territory in several respects, if While it is to Granada which is in first place for the fourth time, an event like the Open E ² Arena and IEEE Developer Days is scheduled for this year is An appointment that should not miss the truly interested in free software and, of course, on technological innovation.

There are two main reasons for its importance. The first, which has organized, among others, Free Software Office more active in Spain #DDaysArena 2015 The university will have the most notable promoters of free software Spain according Rusl the University Miguel Hernández own, with its Service Innovation and Technical Support for Teaching and Research (SIATDI) to the head, and the IEEE Student Branch of the same UMH, which received the award for best Spanish branch of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the last IEEE Spain Day. And the second reason, which one of the speakers is John Julian Merelo , director of the Office of Free Software of the mentioned University of Granada. That is, This event brings together the university promoters of this most remarkable technology in the country .

Merelo is an authority, mainly responsible for one hundred percent implementation Free software UGR , believing that this “should be the norm in research, teaching and possibly administration, and the use of proprietary software” should be “limited to what is necessary”. Furthermore, it is one of the most active Spanish users GitHub , the famous platform for collaborative development of free software.

Among other activities planned in #DDaysArena (its hashtag on Twitter), I want to emphasize, for what we want technology, the presentation of Gonzalo Pastor, executive director of the Vice Spanish on millennials, innovation and entrepreneurship , workshops of IEEE SB on free software and hardware Android programming , computer vision (programming computers to understand images), big data , Software and free hardware, Android, big data, data science, R … data science (science data, that is, obtaining substantial knowledge among the cluster of them) and R (programming language for statistical and graphical analysis) and everything to do with a 3-D printer .

The Open E ² Arena and IEEE Developer Days will take place the next day 14 and May 15 in the Altabix building campus Elche at the University Miguel Hernandez, and the best is that the entrance is free and just register to attend. Organizers say they believe “in the power of good ideas, creativity and innovation” and want to “inspire, inform, entertain, excite, teach and share knowledge.” Then we will see whether this statement of principles and intentions is more than words and has behind it corresponds what I do not know you, but I’m not going to miss this event.
