Fórum Internacional do Software Livre (FISL) (International Free Software Forum) is an event sponsored by Associação Software Livre.Org (Free Software Association), a Brazilian NGO that, among other goals, seeks the promotion and adoption of Free Software. It takes place every year in Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande Do Sul, the southernmost state of Brazil.

The event is meant as a "get-together" of students, researchers, social movements for freedom of information, entrepreneurs, Information Technology (IT) enterprises, governments, and other interested people. It is considered one of the world´s largest free software events, harbouring technical, political and social debates in an integrated way. It gathers discussions, speeches, personalities and novelties both national and international in the free software world.

Here are recorded moments of our participation. We discussed and promoted the importance of freedom in the use of software and culture, such as Parabola GNU/Linux-libre system, artwork and community.
