¿Sin tiempo para comer?¿Sin energias para continuar?

Ya esta aqui la nueva bebida para profesionales y alumnos exigentes, aprobada por SJSU department y Don Bosco University.

1. Necesitas una cocacola, un MUG y dos chocolates de preferencia sin caramenlo ni almendras.


2. Destapamos el chocolate.


3. Destapamos el MUG.


4. Agregamos el chocolate al MUG.




5. Vamos a la cafetera.



6. Tomamos cafe y dejamos que el intercambio de calor entre el chocolate y el cafe pase el primero a un estado liquido con un coeficiente de viscosidad similar a la crema.







7. Tapamos el MUG y movemos para formar una mezcla de propiedades uniformes.




8. Destapamos el MUG, luego la soda y agregamos a la mezcla hecha con cuidado. Observar las reacciones aparentes.













9. Destapamos el otro chocolate y lo agregamos a la nueva mezcla, esta vez la temperatura de la mezcla ha bajado, por ello el ultimo chocolate no entrara en estado liquido, el detalle es que se requiere que el mismo de un toque de alta calidad a la bebida.





10. Agregamos mas soda y tapamos el MUG.






11. Todo listo para tomar!!!!!



NOTA 1: Recuerde que el sabor amargo de la soda hace que el paladar no acepte la bebida al inicio, por ello los primeros 4 sorbos deben de mantenerse en la boca y tratar de mover el liquido para perder la soda, cuando esto paso habra que tragar. Recordemos que como la cerveza, si no se toma a su temperatura adecuada (25ªC) puede tener mal sabor.

NOTA 2: Todos los que prueben esta bebida estaran esperando por el dulce final de la misma (el fondo de chocolate), es por ello que si quiere impresionar a sus amigos, puede servir unicamente en pequeños recipientes para mas deliete.

PRUEBALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

La mara va!

PASANTILLAS VA:

Ing. Xiomara: disculpe que insista tanto pero me interesa y me urge saber informacion sobre las pasantillas, desde diciembre del año pasado estoy buscandola en la U para informarle del proyecto que habia realizado y saber si podrian tomarlo todo como mis pasantillas, pero ud. estaba incapacitada y cada vez que hablo a la U ud. no se encuentra, he enviado correos y no he reicbido contestacion. Me interesa porque lei que solo tengo 1 año despues de egresada para iniciar tramites de graduacion y eso me preocupa, ya que yo egrese en el ciclo 2 del 2004. Le envio de nuevo mi curriculum esperando que me diga que hacer para agilizar este proceso, me imagino que recibio mi constancia de la persona donde realize el curso de computacion, la deje sobre su escritorio un viernes en la tarde que ud. no estaba, le puede dar fe de esto el Ing. Julio o Julian no recuerdo pero es el gordito. Por favor Ing. se que para ud. esto es algo insignificante y no importante pero para mi si lo es, no puedo faltar a mis trabajos si nos podemos comunicar por e-mail, por favor le suplico me de una respuesta pronto, se lo agradecere infinitamente.

LA MARA VA.

Gracias por el regalo

Gracias a Fredy por el regalo, muchas gracias.

Comments about “Open Source en el e-learning: ¿Una cuestion de mente?”

The author defines Open Source such a software based on GPL. The GPL is based on many liberties, the most important are:


I.Liberty of use: you can use the software for any purposes.


II.Liberty of analyze the source code, and adapt it to local necessities: Basically we have the source code and can analyze it. The adaptation process is a modification of original program for fixing or improvement.


III.Liberty of distribution: you can distribute the software with people that need it. Many Linux User Groups sell GNU/LINUX CDs in Install Festivals(1).


IV.Liberty of improvement: You can add new modules or components to the actual program. This liberty is fully connected with the possibility to analyze the source code.


Of course the author talk about GPL, because is an open source software stuff. The main medium for distributing information in an open source software community is the Internet. The evolution of Internet involves the creation of protocols(2), systems, etc. Many of this protocols tend to be a commercial products. There are many institutions that are leading the Internet evolution. This institutions such IEEE, W3C, IETF, etc. want to develop new standards for Internet related concepts. For that reason the author talks about public interest and Intellectual property. In order to maintain public interest, Internet ought to be based on international standards.


The revolution for maintain Internet based on international standards moves the Universities to a common way, the open source software and information way. Between 2000 and 2001 Massachusetts Institute of Technology announce the creation of Open Course ware. Open Course Ware is a platform for studying MIT subjects, It is based on open source movement, so the contents and the information is also free. You can use OCW for teach in Salvadorian universities or at least for establish a comparison between their curriculum and our curriculum.


The author talks about a lot of open source software applications for e-learning. Personally I am a web master for the web site www.juliux.org. Juliux.org was born one year ago. It is a free web site for education and publication. Really it is my own web site, but, I am using it for teaching in Don Bosco University.



I my own experience I was testing many learning management systems such as learnloop(3) or moodle(4). All systems was tested and used for teaching in experimental groups in Don Bosco University. The main problem of actual LMS was the learning evaluation. In order to improve electronic learning evaluation SISEV(5) was created. Sisev is an specific and improved LMS for learning evaluation. Sisev has modules for different kind of learning evaluation. Actually it is in version 2. The Sisev team(6) are working in the version 3. Version 3 will have practical evaluation modules. So Sisev is an LMS Salvadorian project an is based in GPL too.
So finally in conclusion:


I.The author mention a lot of Open Source Software for LMS, in El Salvador , specifically in Don Bosco University and other universities, the LMS is very important for teach and learn, Electronic way of teaching ought to be implemented in El Salvador Universities in order to improve learning.


II.The open source software liberties ought to be used in order to take advantage of high quality and low cost software for education.


III.For obvious reasons(7) open source software always be more cheaper than commercial software but knowledge of system administrators ought to be very high.


IV.El Salvador should implement open source software for education, if the government really like to improve the education. This is because open source software has a lot of benefits for education(8).

Comments about “Free Software/Free Science” by Christopher M. Kelty.

Many people think about why computer programmers, generally called Hackers, upload their software applications to the Internet, let alone why they are releasing their software over the GNU/GPL(1). Christopher M. Kelty talks about capitalism in the real word, when he says that the principal question about Open Source Software is How do you make money with free software?.


The actual society says that you have to use your knowledge, abilities and experience in order to get money. Money, Money.........Money. But there are a lot of people that do that they do in order to establish a good reputation in a community. Rowers want to win a medal, Researchers want to discover something and Hackers want to be the best programmer or at least a important programmer in the open source community. The reputation is comparable to science reputation.
Generally we think that something free is bad or have a poor quality because is free. However in academic environment this is not a fact. Science is free for audit, open source too. If we do not have the opportunity to audit an scientific process, then this process is not considered a scientific fact.


Open source software is not science, it is a part of science. It was developed in academic research, from Richard Stallman(2) to Linus Torvalds(3). The open source software is a part of computer science. Open source is open to audit, We can see inside the algorithms, We can follow a methodology and basically is considered a universal knowledge.


In order to compare science and open source, the author talks about how do you make money with science?. After that the author talks about the fundamentals of Intellectual Property. Actually here in El Salvador we have problems educating the people about intellectual property and pirated. All the time the open source software community says that the best form of eliminate piraterism is using free software. Unfortunately the universities in El Salvador do not consider the use of free software such a serious proposal.


Open science and open source have tree principal implication:

I.Intellectual property is the only way for protect open science. Free software foundation made the GPL. GPL is based on Intellectual property concept and directives, the main objective of GPL is protect technology from many commercial purposes.


II.Generally open science is “publically visible private owned knowledge”(4). Actually the race is for discover or create a new technology because this enable the researcher or company the possibility to patent.


III.Internet has become the principal method to publish new knowledge, based on the knowledge community.


Open source society and scientific society know that citation index is important because other researchers can use references for previous investigations. Here in El Salvador, people ought to be motivated to use citation index, citation index is important in order to educate people for Intellectual property respect.


In conclusion Mr. Kelty compares money with reputation, both are a valid methods of payment, the firth one for economy, an reputation for science. Money teaches us how to count, science teaches us how to think. Implications in education are visible, science and open source software can help the actual society giving us new public knowledge based on Intellectual property, this knowledge is transferred from open source community (generally in first word countries), to people in third word countries.
