Going mainstream
In our LoCo Team, we have been working very hard on spreading the word. Besides the events and the on-line activities, we try to reach the non-geek audience by publishing FOSS related articles in the local media on a regular basis.
In this line, a new communication project was born a few months ago within the Nicaraguan LUG, and yesterday we received some great news.
Canal 2, Nicaragua’s biggest television network, is going to broadcast a weekly technology show every Tuesday, starting July 15.
The producers of this new show are… yes, you guessed it! …our local LUG!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach virtually every Nicaraguan household and spread the word about the greatness of Free and Open Source Software.
I’m absolutely thrilled with this project, but I’m also a pretty scared… produce 4-5 quality shows a month is a HUGE challenge. Are we up to it? Definetly! Bring it on!
This would be awesome to see those shows…
I just have to say that this show is ranked #1 in Nicaragua this means that probably more than 1/2 a million of people is going to watch this show.
+1 to the commuNIty
There’s going to be a live video streaming at the channel’s website, and hopefully we’ll upload the show on the LoCo Teams youtube channel as well.
I’ll post some more detailed info as soon as I have it.
Excellent..
Yes… the show Igor points out is Primera Hora, the highest ranked morning show in Nicaragua. Our tech show is going to be part of it.
Eh, good job guys!
Awesome, and good luck!
Excelent,

¡Qué bueno! felicidades, espero poder ver los programas.
Thank you all for your kind words… Gracias!!
Mi más sincera enhorabuena, Leogg. Ánimo y ojalá que os vaya todo estupendamente, que lo merecéis. Será estupendo seguiros la pista si ponéis en marcha algún foro para los espectadores o algún otro tipo de “ventana” para la audiencia. ¡Ojalá cunda el ejemplo en otros lugares y el software libre reciba apoyos tan claros como éste! ¡Un abrazo!
GREAT work. Can’t wait to see the show.
Congratulations to everyone on the team.
