Ricardo's Blog

Over the next two weeks, Ricardo’s Blog will have continuous live coverage of two major technology events.  Starting next week, we will have coverage of Craig R. Barrett’s annual Latin America tour. The Intel Chairman will have a busy week next week with major events in Colombia, Peru, Brasil and Chile. And two weeks from now, Ricardo’s Blog will be live and on the scene for one of the main technology events in the planet: Intel Developer Forum.  

Craig R. Barrett was earlier this year named Chairman of the United Nations Global Alliance for ICT and Development.  This trip is the first he does outside of the US as Chairman of UN GAID.  He will kick start the week meeting with more than 100 technology leaders from 13 countries in Latin America in Cartagena Colombia.  This event, called the Digital Leaders Forum, will be focused on the Digital Divide and how to raise the level of competitiveness in Latin American by addressing this issue.  Craig will also host a major activity of Intel’s World Ahead Program in the City of Parintins.  Parintins is a city inside of an island in the middle of the Amazonian river. Intel joined by many Industry partners will announce a major project to link the city’s schools, governmental offices and health care centers to the internet using WiMax technology. Craig will also celebrate the 5^th anniversary of Intel Teach program in Brasil and meet with major Governmental and Educational Authorities.

At Intel Developer Forum, Intel presents major product launches and strategic product direction for the years to come.  This year’s conference will be held on the City of San Francisco and Ricardo’s Blog will be there to cover the event live.  Please stay tuned to postings of major announcements, key notes and other relevant information coming out of IDF.
