A group of students from different universities have gathered together to learn Linux in deeply. We have started with the GNOME Peru Challenge on Fedora 25, that basically consists in fixing a bug. To achieve that, we have follow an empiric schedule that includes, installation of Fedora 25, use GNOME apps such as Pomodoro, Clock, Maps, and others such as GIMP, building some modules, working with Python to finally see GTK+.

The effort of more than five weeks is going to be presented for the very fist time as a group at UPN. The conference is called “I Forum of Entrepreneurship and Technologies“, the ad: A special thanks to Fabio Duran from GNOME Chile, who is constantly helping kindly this Peruvian group anytime. Usually documentation online is in English or out-dating and Fabio is able to get us a solid grasp of the GNOME tech. Thanks GNOME! We also thanks Fedora because they have supported two major events in Lima that contribute this group get stronger, Linux Playa and Install Fest. Thanks Fedora! * So far, we have scheduled the lighting talks in this order:
