Regresando de mis pequeñas pero reconfortantes vacaciones pensé que encontraría menos personas en el Centro del Software. Estaba equivocado.
Ayer parecía ser un día normal, oficinas con las mismas caras que veía cada día que caminaba por los pasillos. Tal vez las personas vinieron a trabajar por la misma razón que podría imaginar porque las personas venian a trabajar: atascados de trabajo.
Yo personalmente uso estos días de 'trabajo/vacaciones' para hacer algunas de las mismas cosas que no puedo hacer en días normales de trabajo. Algunas personas vienen por la misma razón (techy geeks!) o tal vez porque simplemente no tienen otra opción (trabajadores negreados).
Lo mejor de todo es que no hay tráfico, el clima es frio y es algo así como menos doloroso venir a la oficina y escribir algo de código, terminar algunas cosas y aprender algo nuevo sin la presión normal.
Y ahora, para terminar este post, el cliché de temporada: ¡Feliz año nuevo!

Último día del 2006
Bueno, este es mi último día del 2006 en el Centro del Software.
Estoy muy feliz. México -en los próximos años- será un gran país para el desarrollo de software. Ahora, nosotros necesitamos crear un gran tornado con las ideas de toda la gente que viene a trabajar aquí.
;)
Por ahora, felices fiestas y feliz año nuevo.

First and brief post
Well, my very first and brief post.
The only thing I want to highlight is that real synergy is starting to exists around here at the CS.
Two weeks ago all companies started to talk about how can we optimize resources, good things emerged from that meeting. We will be expecting results next year's first quarter.
Last week we were talking about a joint project with other company; FINALLY! this is one achievment of being together.
Yesterday the CFO from our neighbor company was explaing us how they manage financial scenarios and risks; again, FINALLY, we are sharing knowledge.
In general, people around here are starting to talk, exchange ideas and work together. Companies are obviously created by people... so we will be expecting plenty of joint achievments next year! Mexico will be leader in the technology development market really soon. I promise.

The software center like Art Gallery
About the sculptures in the last post.
Well, the software center have many faces, almost like the people that lives in here. Mexico, like a multicultural country have a rich culture and traditions. We have a lot of great artists in poetry, theatre, music, painting, sculpture, etc..
In the original plans of the software center the admon thought in convert the corridors in autentic galleries of art. The first work (4 beautiful and strange sculptures) were from a artist from Jalisco, (insert the name in here).
The last week, a business man, Jorge Vergara (owner of a soccer team in Mexico and Costa Rica), sponsored a local in the history center for a art auction. That's the end of the sculptures. But don't worry!
Soon we can have a lot of other great work!

The building
Well... Let's start with the building. The "Centro del Software" was before a supermarket called Comercial Mexicana in the center of the "Plaza del Ángel". Comercial Mexicana, it's a big company with a lot of stores in Mexico.
Plaza del Angel it's near of Plaza del Sol, the most ancient mall in latinamerica. This plaza it's a travel to the past. Have a lot of small stores, and a abandonaded cinema (with a so cute taquilla). In the last floor, there is a dance school.
Well... that's all folks

One month ago...
Almost one month ago i stopped writing in this blog. The true reasons were a lot of work, and a huge pressure for deliver projects in time.
Nothing has been happening in the software center. Really! NOTHING... The same companies, the same workers, the same faces... When you walk by, you can see empty offices, with one chair, one table, even one flower. Nothing more. What's up? Nothing important really, because almost every company have other offices somewhere in the city.
I don't have camera, and believe or not, it's another reason for not posting. Letter by themselves are boring, rigth? I mean, maybe a book would be cool but not if you're talking about a place. I promise buy a camera within the next few days.
Well, see ya!
P.S. Project Manager: i need more time for this blog!

A day with the president
The start of the day was really annoying, revision for arms, the cars can't use the parking system of the place, a lot of military people dress like civilians, and a lot of blof, blof, blof.
At 10:30am, boxes with red wine Carlo Rossi, cross the area. The WC was occupied for the goverment people, more military and more blof.
A lot of ladys, pass with food.
At 11:00am, more coffee, food and a extraordinary ass.
At 12:36pm, the guests from Aportia, IJALTI, CANIETI and others arrive. We could see a lot of important people from the mexican goverment, like the governor of the state of Jalisco Francisco Ramírez Acuña.
At 1:30pm the president arrive, with a military deploy, and a short speech.
At 2:11pm he left the place :)
Then... the beautiful moment! Cocacola! Food and Wine!
At 6:10pm we can see the boss of hildebrando, pass in front of us.
A twice of news (Spanish)
:) That was the inauguration...
Now we need work :P

American Press
Yesterday, north-american people visit the instalations of the software center. Aportia was the host, in a day with more form in the office work.
At, 10:00am my work begins, after drink my coffee and read my blogs feeds. In the front of the office a lot of workers began to give form to the place. After a official notice from the mexican goverment, about the security measures for today (the most important, no photos, no logos -hildebrando fear?-, at 10 o'clock the software center locks the door, nobody go out at 1:30pm, etc.) the smell of Mexican food was really intense.
The american press (with a lot of gringos) took a tour in the software center, drank and ate the best food in the world.
Later a final memorandum, at 5:30pm the "estado mayor presidencial" (military trained bodyguard of the president) "took the posession" of the building, and all the people needs comme out.
Well... today, a strong security mesaures and a lot of military people dress like civilians...
Now i need write code... :)

First and Second day
The firsts days in the Software Center, have been really good and interesting. A lot of job for the workers to build the offices accord to the layouts and the exigencies of the business.
The first day had really few people in the offices working in software development. Today all have more form, and we can see the preparations for the visit of the Mexico's President, Vicente Fox Quezada. All begins to be more clean, taking care of the details.
The evaluation of the CMMi Level 2, forwards with comfort in the new office and i can write code in a beautiful place with nice telephones Cisco 7911, internet with good bandwith and a excelent chair.
In the place arise something interesting. Each company, reflects the personality through its offices. Because the furniture are the same for all offices, with the same style in the walls, ceiling, ligths, etc. there is only a few things to play. The layouts are the most common play. Some companes have covered the operative area completely, without visibility to that area they reflects in my perspective great hermetism. In the other hand, some companies, have cristal walls in all the place. Other things are the distance in the distinct areas, the diversity, the confort, the square "mode". Even, some companies still don't know they layout!
For the visit of the president, you will notice that there is no logos in the companies, but soon will emerge the real personality in the people, in order to constitute a real ecosystem (and i hope with good units (; )
I promise you photos!

Excitante
En estos días, solo los últimos detalles. El diseño de la puerta en la nueva oficina, las fechas de inauguración (con el presidente de la república, Vicente Fox Quezada), reporteros de la prensa americanos, sillas, fotos, requerimientos para el espacio en el estacionamiento, , etc.
¡Es tan excitante! Seleccioné mi nuevo escritorio junto al pasillo de cristal (de hecho mi elección es porque quiero ver a la gente de otras empresas pasar -¡tal vez una chica bonita!- (=<
Todas las oficinas serán construidas con cristales elegantes y última tecnología, algo sorprendente si consideramos que es un esfuerzo del gobierno mexicano.
Realmente días lentos, con una calma excitante :)

Iniciando el camino
Hola!
La versión en inglés es mi primer blog en ese idioma. Así que una disculpa por los posibles errores en mi gramática o vocabulario, mi lenguaje madre es el español.
¿Pero, que hay de este blog? Bueno, veamos. ¿Sabes que significa Mexico IT?
Mexico-IT (http://www.mexico-it.com/) es un esfuerzo de la Secretaria de Economía del gobierno mexicano por atrer inversiones de norteamericanas en TI.
Yo vivo en Guadalajara, Jalisco, México y trabajo en el departamento de software en una compañía llamada Innox (http://www.innox.com.mx). Es la más hermosa compañía que he conocido en mi vida (aún pocos 21 años ;) ). Nosotros estamos en un proyecto llamado Centro del Software, un lugar con una asombrosa infraestructura y gran gente. Bueno, en la siguiente semana nos mudaremos al centro junto con otras 33 compañías dedicadas a la industria de TI, en una visión de crear dentro de pocos años una ciudad del software (como Bangladesh) en el estado de Jalisco.
Este blog será un diario acerca de vivir en este proyecto, el Centro del Software.
