Ubuntu-ve at Expotecnologica
This week the Venezuela LoCo team had very productive week at the
Expotecnologica held at the convention isle of a very famous shopping mall in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela. the invitation came rather late, so preparations for the event were not very many. The event gathered the latest trends in technology. Representatives from companies like Nintendo, Epson and A2 Softway (software development group) offered services and the different university projects gave the event a very special touch of local talent.

This Week's Quiz
Thanks to the UbuntuTrivia Team, headed by [:AlexandreVassalotti: Alexandre Vessilitto] (Who's name I apparently misspelt last time, for which I apologise), we had another exciting quiz this week. The prize, a book by Richard Stallman (Free as in Freedom), was donated by our second-time sponsor, Robert Stoffers. Lasse Havelund, the sponsor of next week's quiz was victorious again. Next week, the prize is an Ubuntu Poster.
This Week:
Quizmaster : Alexander Vassaloti Champion : Lasse Havelund Sponsor : Robert Stoffers Prize : Free as in Freedom by Richard M. Stallman
Next Week:
Sponsor : Lasse Havelund Prize : [http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Posters/HanZo/poster-layout.jpg Ubuntu Poster]
To participate in the quiz, join #ubuntu-trivia on irc.freenode.net on Friday and/or Saturday UTC-nights - the topic will usually tell you when the next quiz is scheduled.
To give a quiz, contact AlexandreVassalotti (theCore on IRC) - we will probably find you a spot.
To donate a prize, please contact JendaVancura (jenda on IRC) - your generosity is appreciated. The generic prize is an Ubuntu Poster, and to donate this, all you need is a spare $5.
To win the quiz... well... be 1337. The quiz usually has a theme, and the quizmaster will sometimes tell you what the theme of the quiz will be. If not, you can always bribe them. By winning the quiz and not accepting the prize, you donate it for the next quiz in line. This is especially appreciated if you are a frequent winner.
