2011 has been the best year in my life.

Asturix OS has become one of the best operating systems, Asturix Project was created and now we have a team that is fully compromised with free software and is working to make the world a better place.

I assisted to Forum Impulsa, one of the world’s best entrepeneurship forums, where I met Tariq Krim (Netvibes and Jolicloud founder), Pau García-Milà (eyeOS founder) and Magnus Scheving (Lazytown creator).

I had one very cool idea to change the way we use computers and I made a post talking about it.

I assisted to Campus Party Valencia 2011, where I met awesome people like Jon “Maddog” Hall, one of the developers that changed the world and the godfather of Linux. He gave me 10 minutes to give a talk about Asturix On. I learnt a lot in that event.

I won HackNow, so I travelled to Berlin and I gave a talk at HackFwd Build 0.7 event. I met the best entrepreneurs of Europe such as Lars Hinrich (XING creator) and other impressive people such as Werner Vogels (Amazon CTO). Awesome experience.

I gave a talk at the International Youth Meeting of Cabueñes 2011

Asturix was selected between the 15 best projects at Campus Party Milenio and I gave another talk :-P

I was chosen to give a talk about my passion (free software & entrepreneurship) at the first edition of TEDxYouth.

I gave another talk at The 28th Congress of Junior Companies at Bilbao.

Asturix organizated the 1st FCYouth (Free Culture and Youth Congress).

2011 was the year when Dennis Ritchie, one of the most important developers of the computer history and Steve Jobs, best salesman ever, died.

2011 was the year I met Alberto, another 16 years old entrepreneur. We’re going to launch our startup in February 2012!

2011 was a very hard year, but the best year of my life.

2011 was an awesome year but… 2012 will be better!
