KyaPanel is a panel to provide easy management in Gnu/Linux servers. Developed to increase the network administration, it supports mail management, samba management and many other features. The software was adopted by the federal and state government of Brazil and major companies from Latin America. You can find it at the Public Software Portal from Brazil’s government, which promotes the free software used inside of the government, creating a tool for the communities, which are open to the public, to communicate and work on the development of those softwares.

That is not all, last year at Latinoware, one of the biggest Free Software meetings in Latin America, KyaPanel received the Latinoware Free Software prize.  The event took place in October 2008, more than 3,000 people went to Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil to see more than 280 speeches, panels and technical expositions. KyaPanel was elected by a multidisciplinary jury formed with important attendees selected by Latinoware Organization Board to receive the prize of R$ 2,000.00. “KyaPanel development team wants to thanks its community, all resellers, partners and clients. Without them there was no prize at all” said Anahuac the KyaPanel inventor and main developer.
