Open Source Software in an Academic Environment

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:18:00 +0100

For long I’ve been an evangelist of OSS in the University of Aveiro. First through my involvement in the foundation of GLUA and more recently through CodeUA. In the last 7 years I’ve participated in several EU projects in which I’ve always promoted the use of OSS and the release of code developed in the projects through OSS licenses.

Today I was able to go a step further, since I was invited to do be part of a discussion panel at the Future Networks 6th FP7 Concertation Plenary Meeting where the subject was Open Source & Research. In this panel I was representing the Academic view of OSS. The presentation is available at:

Universidade de Aveiro Achievements in Robotics

Tue, 12 May 2009 20:19:06 +0000

I would like to use this post to public congratulate the University of Aveiro Teams involved in last weeks “Festival Nacional de Robótica” held at IPCB.

After winning last years Robocup, CAMBADA just revalidated the national title (third championship on a row) for middle size robots. As for Autonomic Driving the DEM took the victory with ATLAS-2008 and ATLAS-MV in the first 2 places with a 4th place going to DETI’s ROTA.

These achievements are not random, and are a direct result of effort put into these projects by both students and professors, and of the quality of the education and research done in the University of Aveiro.

Just to let everyone know that MSIN (Master of Science in Information Networking) program by Univ. Aveiro and Carnegie Mellon University, is accepting applications. Please note that although the program is very expensive there are scholarships. As a hint for people looking for jobs: ALL of our students have obtained stable positions in major Portuguese Telecom Operators in the end of the program. Here is some institutional information:

MSIN is a breakthrough in post-graduate technical education, since it combines technical knowledge and management entrepreneurship with professional solutions.
The Aveiro MSIN program builds upon student’s technical backgrounds to give a broadened perspective and tactical expertise required to achieve leadership in the quickly developing fields of information technology and networking. Coursework takes place at the University of Aveiro and uses a hybrid distributed education format that combines locally taught courses with courses delivered from Carnegie Mellon University via interactive video conferencing technologies.

O dia de hoje fica marcado pela publicação das colocações no Ensino Superior no concurso de 2008.

Se bem que os media se centrem nos cursos socialmente mais interessantes como Medicina, Arquitectura e Direito; o meu post pretende antes analisar a área das Engenharias Informática e Electrotecnica.

Este ano é marcado por médias de acesso mais elevadas (ou serão?) que nos anos anteriores, faço aqui um apanhado das principais escolas do país na área que mais me diz respeito:

Nunca é de mais relembrar a realização do DebianDayPT2008 que se realiza já no próximo dia 16 de Agosto (para os mais distraídos é daqui a menos de um mês) na Universidade de Aveiro e conta com a colaboração do GLUA.

É ainda de referir que este evento marca o 15º aniversário desta distribuição do GNU/Linux.
