If you can read Spanish, the Madrid-based newspaper Público has come out with a nice article which surveys the Latin American open source movement: Linux conquista América Latina. The article’s tagline is Los Gobiernos suramericanos impulsan el uso de software libre frente al propietario buscando independencia tecnológica, seguridad y desarrollo local, which translates as “South American governments boost the use of free software over proprietary software, searching for technological independence, security and local development.” Similar to North by South’s recent presentation at GOSCON, the article surveys the development of free software in each of the Latin American countries adopting free software: Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Cuba, Uruguay.
