Hi Adriano, Many thanks for your reply, and my apologies for not getting back to you sooner - I've been behind my emails over the last days and I didn't see your messages.
> I participate in some projects that work directly with free culture > and open-source software. I can help you to get in touch with groups > here, but would like to understand better the project. The idea is to > create laboratories of development games on free software in multiple > locations? Almost! We try to apply the development model of free software projets to our studio itself. Which means implementing the concept of a decentralized office, with everyone telecommuting and communicating through the usual tools: mailing-list, irc... This has the practical effect of allowing us to build a truly international team from the start - we're already working with people from France, Canada, Romania, India, the U.K.... Given the strength of the Brazilian Free Software community, it would be a very natural step for us to have ties with Brazil, too. > Is there any website or text to explain the project better? We don't yet have a proper website, but I can give you links to our (messy) production wiki that may help you to understand a bit better: http://farsides.com/wiki/Company_manifesto http://farsides.com/wiki/Social_Contract Don't hesitate if you have questions about this - we're passionate about our model, so I'll be very happy to explain more : ) > When you are planning to come to Rio de Janeiro? Just let me know the > date and we arrange a meeting. Smitha is handling the planning for the trip, so I'll let her discuss that part with you : ) Many thanks for spending some time to discuss with us and give us a hand - I appreciate it!
