Interesting article about political surveys in Mexico

Altought the big players in the tv in Mexico use to report wrong information, it's always nice to find that it's still possible to find good articles regarding to political activities in Mexico.

A good article about the way some political groups (specially the right wing, the PAN) use this information and try to play with it here.

Linux world event

Yesterday I had the oportunity to go to the Linux Expo here and Mexico, and also had the chance to meet with my boss Miguel, and also could meet some of the Novell Ximian guys there.

If you took a photo with Miguel and me, send it to calberto.cortez at gmail (I forgot to take photos by myself). I will appreciate it.

Interesting article about politics in Mexico

It's sad to see that the current government is helping some of the men behind the FOBAPROA in Mexico (a large fraud that took place some years ago, where the banks lent themselves money and then declared to be in economical problems). One of those men, Jorge Lankenau, was set free some days ago.

The article here (in spanish).

Managed environments and Macs

Miguel has a pretty interesting post about .Net/Mono environments and the declarations about it made by the mac guys (saying that managed languages are 'SLOW').

The technical issues mentioned by Miguel are really interesting, but the article also shows the way in which osnews/oreilly/slashdot 'trolly' posts should be fighted. It's more interesting to see a complete point of view, instead of the classical posts, such "I agree, that thing just sucks", "And what about the patent issue?" and that kind of posts that definitely don't help the discussion.

Nice article about the latest survey in Mexico

Just found a very nice article about the latest political survey in Mexico. It points out an important fact about this kind of surveys and also mentions a different one by another institute.

Another article about politics in Mexico

Proceso is a very good reading for those who could be interested in the social an political movements happening in Mexico.

This time I found an essay about the latest appareance of Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who was president of Mexico some years ago, and who has a lot of political power. The possible reasons behind he appearing are here.

Politics and globalization

I found quite interesting an article about a thing that is known for much of us, but that remain unknown for others: the latest economical and political ideas are having a very bad impact in countries like Mexico and the located in center and south America, like social segregation, a minority with much money and so on.

A great article here, at Deutsche Welle, http://www.dw-tv.com/dw/article/0,1564,1681370,00.html

The new Marcos show

The latest declarations of Marcos, one of the most important men behind the EZLN -this in Mexico-, are quite interesting, since one can't tell the _true_ reasons behind them. Why to bring them right now, when the federal elections are near? Why did he break relations with the PRD?

A very good essay about this fact here
