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.

El mundo esta lleno de opciones para servicios IR y la selección más cercana para tu compañía es México. Si. Nadie más cerca que nosotros.


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.
