[Miguel Telleria de Esteban]

Hola buenas,

Me ha llegado esto por si alguno se aburre en Bruselas los días lunes 4
y martes 5 de diciembre y quiere conocer el parlamento europeo por
dentro.

Incluso si vivís lejos de Bruselas y tenéis esos días libres podéis
contactar a los organizadores del Green Party europeo para pedir que os
subvencionen el viaje.

Cuando vivía por ahí asistí una vez a una jornada sobre las patentes de
software, lo mejor que recuerdo es como funcionan los traductores y la
maravilla de la cantina del parlamento europeo.  Pude comer al lado de
Alan Cox y preguntarle sobre los problemas de mi tarjeta gráfica :).

Vamos que es una experiencia recomendable para hacer al menos una vez en
la vida.  Si os aburris siempre hay acceso internet (cable y wifi) en el
parlamento (al menos HTTP) y podréis trabajar con el portátil.

	Miguel
