[gugmasters] Oportunity for GNOME event in Chile, 2008

[Fabián Arias <fabian gnome cl>]

Hi,


The main event in Chile related to FLOSS is the "Encuentro Nacional  
Linux", which in its 9th edition will be hosted at the Universidad de  
Concepción, in the south of Chile next year.

Being part of the organization commitee, and our close relation to  
GNOME Chile, one of the goals of the organization is to create a track  
related to GNOME. For this we have in mind to bring to Chile some cool  
rock stars from the project, for wich Pedro Villavicencio (one of our  
local rock stars) is in Cambridge at the UDS trying to convince  
Vincent Untz to come here and enjoy the chilean wine, same thing with  
André Klapper, a good friend of GNOME Chile ;)

The conference is planned for October 22 - 25, 2008. So there is still  
time to coordinate the efforts between other south american gug's.  
This related to Diego Escalante proposal in the Marketing-list about  
promoting events in South America and sharing the speakers between  
sync'ed conferences, it would be the time to demonstrate the  
posibility of make Diego's idea come true and sum up efforts between  
Southamerican communities.

It would be nice to hear your opinion.

Saludos,

Fabián Arias
