The Brazilian government released recently a report on the status of social inclusion and economy markers. I found report well written and organized, you can download it at this link (in English).

Brasília - Depois de participar da reunião da União das Nações Sul-Americanas (Unasul) na semana passada, o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva afirmou hoje (31) que a união é a alternativa para o desenvolvimento dos países da região. “Ou nos juntamos, deliberamos políticas que sejam complementares e começamos a fazer, entre nós, uma política de ajuda, de solidariedade, e crescermos juntos; ou vamos terminar mais um século pobres, como terminamos o século 20”, disse, em seu programa semanal Café com o Presidente.

Tonight's dinner was pretty good, lots of good food (and many sweets, too many...) and we got to meet people from the company that I've never seen before. Group picture coming soon.

And this week's highlight is the Ramadan Contest we're running on ShooFeeTV. Check it out and you might even get a 100$ prize for voting on your favorite program during this month.

And with this, I go to sleep.

So the TV station launch party at Royal Film Commission was awesome, lots of people were introduced to the projects we have back at work and today our audience has been increasing already.

Way to go, I hope there will be more events such as these. :D

I'll be posting a group photo here soon.

ShooFeeTV is a content provider and aggregator of Arab satellite channel listings. In addition to centralizing the times and channels for more than 120 channels on ArabSat and NileSat, the original content includes programming and who's who information, video clips, photographs and celebrity news.

ShooFeeTV's vision is to create an entertainment hub accessible across the Arab world and beyond. Plans are underway to include a free-to-air satellite television channel, mobile phone services, podcasts and content syndication through third-party feeds to the electronic and printed media.

The multimedia platforms suit the expansive site, one that is also supported by a database of entertainment information. With 100,000 entries already and increasing every day, users can search for their favorite films, actors and other trivia with a click of the mouse.

Users will also have the chance to express their opinions by rating and reviewing their favorite shows and movies.
The most popular will be highlighted on the home page.
In short, ShooFeeTV will revolutionize the way the Arab world sees television.

So here's a short list with some of the best looking Brazilian Drupal sites I've been to.

• Movimento Nossa São Paulo
• Portal UNOESC - Universidade do Oeste de Santa Catarina
• Canal do Produtor - Portal de informações sobre agriculta - SENAR / CNA
• Escalada Café: Notícias, Comércio Virtual e Rede Social
