Comment Re:You should go and study in Puerto Rico (Score 1) 386

I second him. While I myself will study in the U.S. due to other reasons (primarily because while I'm fluent in Spanish, I prefer and dominate English more), the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamon does offer great courses in Computer Science. You should try also the Interamerican University (Universidad Interamericana), which is another local university.

There are also many technology companies established here who have research labs, such as Hewlett-Packard, and local offices, such as Microsoft and Yahoo! (unfortunately Google doesn't yet have an office in Puerto Rico), as well as many other companies that focus on software development, or use it in some major way. There are tons of life and health insurance companies, in addition to financial institutions, who are now looking into technology to facilitate their business, so they're hiring many software engineers.

And being a bit redundant, we're bilingual here, so there's no problem as to which language you prefer to use. I hope you strongly consider PR. :)

Comment Novell Deja Vu? (Score 1) 120

I really wouldn't mind having better ASP support on Apache (that doesn't hurt anyone), but this talk about "interoperability" between Microsoft and the ASF just brings back into my memory what happened to Novell.

The Apache Software Foundation /HAS/ (triple emphasis!) to keep their usual levels of strictness when it comes to outside contributors, specially Microsoft in this case.

I hope they don't let their guard down. I'm quite concerned, honestly. I do have some hope that the ASF will handle this properly, and not let such a great project succumb to Corporate America.
