“I want to learn of you” – The singing of the madman

A beautiful ballad of The singing of the madman, “I Want to learn of you“:

I want to dedicate this song to the girls of the team of feminine basketball of Sherry Chajeba04, who yesterday achieved the most important victory and offered us a fantastic party in Guatemalan. To Lourdes, Ali, Sabina, Eva, Cristina …, to the whole team, so that they continue fighting and overcoming the difficulties. Certainly, the girls also have a group in Facebook.

The Extraordinary Congress of the SPANISH SOCIALIST PARTY TO directly in the social networks

There is celebrated the Extraordinary Regional Congress of the Spanish socialist party of Andalusia. Pepe Griñán will be elected a General Secretary of the party, in replacement of Manolo Chaves.

In twitter it is possible to continue and to transmit the Congress with the hashtag (tag) #psoeandalucÝa. Some of those who are tuiteando from there, in addition to the official twitter of @psoedeandalucía, are: @cdiazpines (partner of Sherry), @Mernissi, @netoraton, @mavazquezb, @schevi, @yoriento, @luissalvador …

The Congress also can be still live for livestream, from the web of the SPANISH SOCIALIST PARTY TO, and also right here:

The neutrality of the network, gaffes and worrying coincidences

Yesterday there took place a series of events of that I want to leave steadfastness and that worry me. Everyone who interprets it as easily it could:

Google included Spain between the countries Internet censors although a few hours later it had to rectify. The denunciation of Google was sobredimensionada since it was based on the closing of two blogs, previously denounced, of his platform Blogger and therefore the rectification is logical.

Close to the midnight all the Phone companhy users, both in Spain and in Latin America, we remain without being able to gain access neither to Google or to any of his services, like the mail Gmail. Phone companhy has not declared itself on the happened yet. These are some of the reactions that have taken place in the network:

• Google and fallen international places for the Phone companhy users
• Google does not work and you have DNS of Phone companhy: he peels it he is he peels it …
• Massive incidence in the ADSL of Phone companhy. Widespread problems of navigation

Also Twitter gathers opinions about the soap opera Google - phone companhy.

If all this we it prepare with the recent declarations of the president of Phone companhy on Google the intrigue it is served …

For the good of all, and especially, for the neutrality of the network, I hope that everything should to simple technical mistakes and coincidences of the life. At the moment Phone companhy has not said anything.

Certainly, today it is the world day against the censoring in Interne t, this network so greedy that many people want to control. Reporteros without borders has written the report Internet Enemy. Every time there are more the countries that want to control the network.

Here we are the privileged some if we compare ourselves with China, Cuba, Iran and other countries that practise the censoring in Internet. But we must remain attentive and defend that that keeps on being this way always. For a free and open network.

The importance of the information opened in Internet

In this video of Tim Berners-Lee who can turn in TED there is revealed the importance of the open information (open it dates) and the collaboration and participation in the network. Berners-Lee says that all the information and information that we should put in the network, of any type, will be able to be used in the future to realize wonderful things.

In the video it shows several project examples colaborativos of open information. The case of Open Street Map and the recent earthquake of Haiti. Open Street Map is a map colaborativo that allows to edit and use geographical information of the whole world. After the earthquake of Haiti the company GeoEye, it allowed to Open Street Map to use his visualization technology for satellite. It allowed to prepare in real-time a map of the refugee camps that was used by the rescue teams.

It is a clear example about what Tim Berners-Lee thinks: the technology has to be to the service of the humanity and not the other way round. Because a free and open network benefits us to all.

How to confuse the bacon with the speed, in the network

What little level! I feel shame for the document that the Spanish European presidency has sent to the Council of the European Union. SHAME. His title synthesizes to the perfection his intention: How to fight the violations of the intellectual property and the xenophobic and racist contents and of infantile pornography in Internet? I do not know who there will have been the person in charge of writing similar pamphlet. Enrique Dans believes that it must make it to itself about looking. The problem is that this document sends the Spanish Presidency, or that his last person in charge is the Government.

A paragraph of sample of the document:

The achievement of criminal activities by means of the Internet use has a particular influence and transcendency in case of the infantile pornography, as well as in the spread of xenophobic and racist ideas and in the violation of the intellectual property, conducts that, unfortunately, are not verified that they diminish.

To put in the same sack infantile pornography and violation of the intellectual property indicates a supine ignorance and a real disrespect to the Net users. As Santi Benítez says, to unload contents of the network is not a crime.

As for the infantile pornography, if they want to know how it fights, that wonder it Marcelino Madrigal, who in his struggle against the pederasts and the infantile pornography in the social networks, has seen as they were closing a page and two profiles in Twitter. I suppose that to fight against the big companies does not enter inside the targets of any government not of the European Union … It is easier to gag David than to fight against Giant.

In the rest of Europe the Spanish bulletin has not pleased too much. Network S@S and Quadrature du Net they have expressed a joint bulletin in which they denounce, between other things, that “the government does dull ears in favor of the lobbies of the cultural industry”.

The worst thing of everything is not small level and the ignorance of those who are promoting this nonsense on the network, but the pleased and interested concession of the Government. The people capable and experienced with wide knowledge on Internet exist. An example in the socialistic lines is deputy Lourdes Muñoz Santamaría, who defends the rights of the citizens as a key aspect to bear in mind in the legislation of the network. But since so many times it happens in politics, and for the sake of defending a few interests that are not those of the majority, we us stumble over Peter's beginning.
