No estoy seguro si "extreblog" me permite hacer un trackback al blog original, pero a continuación os incluyo un pequeño fragmento de la entrevista. La entrevista aunque en inglés está muy interesante.
I previously posted about governments around the world using Linux, doing research on such topic was really insightful. But one example stood out more than any other, and that’s no other than the Spanish region of Extremadura. Extremadura’s migration to Linux is quite remarkable, especially that it is fully backed up by the local government. The whole case really intrigued me, so I decided to explore more about this region’s Linux escapades. I sat down with a lead developer of the project Daniel Campos, and had the following discussion:
RH: Daniel, thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to sit with me. Let’s start talking about you, what is it exactly that you do?
DC: Well, of course I have my Extremadura/LinEx responsibilities. I’m part of the LinEx technical team, we are 6 people creating and maintaining a Debian based distribution. This distribution is used in the education system in Extremadura, and it is also used to spread free software concepts to people here. I’m both programmer and package maintainer for this distribution. I am also a project manager for LinEx SP (a special version of LinEx used internally in Extremadura’s Public Administration) and LinEx GUIA (a special distribution for Extremadura’s councils).
On a broader level, I am part of Gambas project acting as a programmer and also in charge of the Futura project [pdf] (outdated) which is a new project aiming to improve GNU/LinuxGUI.
I also occasionally take part in training, free software consulting, and collaborating in free software conferences and presentations.
My god! Now I understand why I have little time to spare! 
RH: Can you tell us more about the Extremadura region? What is it that makes your region special in terms of what you are doing?
