If there was no written report/account from the Foundation, why should
you expect that local groups had written them?

Probably if you would asked for written reports, you could get more than
one prepared on time.  The contact list is on the wiki:
http://live.gnome.org/UserGroups

To be clear, I don't want to criticize your report, which is a very good
point of start (even if it a was a big mail message :-).  But the
clarification of Rodrigo's concerns didn't make sense to me.

So, in the future, we as a local groups, have the task to write reports
in order to get included or referenced by the Foundation; in both
english and native language.
