It is now on slashdot and groklaw, so there is no reason now to wait. The Peruvian Congress passed a bill (translation) four days ago that
aims to establish the measures which permit the purchase of software licenses by the public administration in conditions of neutrality, free concurrence and equal treatment of suppliers.
It has been more than two months since I blogged for the last time. There has been a lot of things going on. The big thing is that now I am working full time in my own business: Aureal Systems, a consulting company in Peru. I’m working here with Breno, Benji, Fernando, Nestor and Nicolas (and Javier and Jackson, but they don’t have websites AFAIK). We have a month in our new (bigger and nicer) headquarters and now I have my own office. It is a mess of course (our OpenBSD router, Forlorn, is in my closet) but at least I can close the door and listen to Ludwig Van.
Aureal Systems specializes in secure computing. Everything we do is with security in mind, from (*NIX/Linux/BSD) server deployment to development. And since we specialize in security, we are listed in OpenBSD’s Support and Consulting site.
Business is going very well, a lot better than we expected actually, and that means lots of work, which I love of course :) I miss my son every time I have to stay in one of those (very frequent) all night long hack-a-thons, but it is for the best. As the title of this post say, Aureal is “A New Hope”. We are growing fast, sometimes too fast, but our customers are all very satisfied with our work
You can expect more activity in this blog for now on.
