Last week, I attended Fórum Internacional Software Libre hosted in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. During four days, I had the change to meet people from all the free software communities in Brazil as well as some members from communities in Latin America. The last day I gave a talk called "Introducing new generations to Free Software", which presents our journey and learnings from the Rails Girls Summer of Code 2015 and our efforts to encourage underrepresented groups in the IT industry to start a career in the professional software development industry with iniciatives such Railsbridge, RGSoC and Outreachy among others.

Some numbers:

3937 participants

492 speakers

519 hours in activities

21 countries represented (I was the only speaker from Mexico)

It was such an awesome experience to be part of the largest Free Software festival in Latin America and, as brazilians say, Nos vemos em 2017!
