- On April 2009, I decided to stop working for Cuban State's
- institutions. This decision came itself emerging on me based
- on the increasing repression impossed to system administrators
- by Cuban State and the lack of an independent way from the
- State to express my feelings about computers and sharing
- information in freedom. I don't pretend to use this book to
- detail the political system I lived on, but I do want to say
- that the more I get involved with such political system the
- more was the distance I felt between the most pure of myself
- and the actions such system wanted me to do. It is motivating
- how one can realize about such things, thanks to bright minds
- like Mr. Richard Stallman with his vision and actions about
- freedom as well as to free communities like &TCP; where those
- feelings are made available for anyone to enjoy.

+ In these last years, the cuban State has shown signs to start
+ using free software distributions with the goal of
+ <quote>reaching a technology independency</quote> which is
+ quiet contradictory to me. What independency we are talking
+ about here? Independency for whom, and from whom? The only way
+ I see for the cuban State to reach the independency it looks
+ for (as long as I understand its political system) is creating
+ and maintaining an entire infrastructure (e.g., computers,
+ network devices, operating systems, etc.,) of its own without
+ any intervention from the outside. Otherwise, the cuban State
+ will be inevitably attached to someone that may differ from it
+ and that is something unacceptable because may compromise the
+ former idea. If you think this is what cuban State needs, I
+ have to say that it is one of the most nonsense idea one can
+ ever think of, specially when you consider the the way
+ international communities of free software and hardware
+ providers interact one another in the modern world.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The free software emerged from people who know what freedom
+ is. It is impossible to defend freedom if one don't feel what
+ it is. The cuban State never talks (at least on the public
+ media) of introducing free software for freeing the society of
+ privative software. In fact, if you compare the privative
+ software and the way cuban State operates the information
+ area, based on the resolution 149 emitted by the Minister of
+ Informatics and Telecomunications (MIT), you may find them
+ very similar. There is a very strict control over all the
+ information media on the country and they cannot be used to
+ other purposes different to those defined by the State. For
+ example, to reach Internet access, cuban people need to be
+ working for the State somehow and that way comply with the
+ politics impossed by it about information management. There is
+ no a legal way for cuban people to contract an Internet
+ service at home. The most one can do in Cuba to share data is
+ trying to <quote>resolve</quote> a fixed telephone line at
+ home to gain access to the telephone network and then use it
+ to transmit data using computers. The telephone network most
+ people have access to, however, there are limitations in the
+ number of simultaneous connections that can be performed and
+ finding the Modem devices required.<footnote>
+ <para>
+ Modem devices aren't available on stores. In fact, the few
+ computation hardware available on stores has prices that
+ very few people can pay for (making this another
+ limitation for average poeple).
+ </para>
+ </footnote>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The migration from privative software to free software must be
+ from people comprehension of what they are doing, not from the
+ impossition of another inquestionable order to comply with.
+ So, people need to feel what freedom is and express it in
+ order to perceive a deep impact in the society. Don't pretend
+ people will use a free software distribution based on a lie,
+ that idea won't last much before it fall into pieces. People
+ need a way of identify themselves apart from any political
+ system in order for them to decide whether or not to be part
+ of one.

It is also fare to mention that freedom has a cost and more if
you are living in a political system where most people cannot
make use of it to manifest themselves. I didn't find any
solution other than isolate myself from that political system
- repressing my natural right of expression. Mentioned that way
- might sound simple but it is a very difficul decision because
- its implications. For example, immediatly after I took that
- decision I didn't find a job to do and had to relay on my
- family which, in its majority, grew up with the political
- system I reject and is attached somehow to it. A terrible
- humilation to me, but less humilation than a direct relation
- since it wasn't my decision to come into the world nor be
- educated in a way I wasn't able to take concience of. This
- way, I gave my first step back into the reconstruction of
- myself. After two years in this situation, Frank Sueiras (the
- housband of my ant Carmen L. Delgado) retires himself from
- working to Cuban State's institution and start doing jobs for
- third parties. In one of those jobs, the Jesuitas church
- contracts him to planificate everything related to hydraulics
- on a building under construction. I went with him there and I
- have to say that the feeling of community there remembered me
- that one experimented inside The CentOS Project. So, I ask him
- to talk there in order for me to work on whatever it be needed
- (e.g., putting glasses on doors, helping the welder man,
- painting, etc.).<footnote>
