First of all, thanks to all people who
organize the FudCon Latam at Valencia, we share many laughs, many
histories and lots of Fedora experiences, some of them will be
highlighted on this post. There is also some homework and
commitments made by Latam Ambassadors so we will make our best to
reach those goals.
Gonzalo Gomez, has been working teaching open source and Fedora to
around 50 elder retired people, many of them professionals, now with
goal to make some of them Spanish translators, looking forward to
reach 100 and replicate his program to other areas.

Daniel Bruno from Brazil lead this effort with the help of Abdel Martinez , Luis Bazan and my self.
Latam Ambassador at the FudCon had the
privilege to work face to face with the FPL Robyn Bergeron, and
exchange ideas of how to improve support for our area, many of this
ideas leave us with some homework
Goals
Develop a wish list of the events we
want to be part of with that a budget for the next quarter and the
next year, the goal is to have a budged that will cover Fedora Latam
needs. Deadline for this task is September 25 of 2012, to accomplish
it every ambassador from latam has to identify the events on their
countries, how much it will cost to be part of the event how many
people will be part of it, if there is a transportation cost, hotel
or other fees.
We need to figured out a way to ship
swags around latam, there were some ideas that needs to be explore
that will be my task for a couple weeks.
So it was a great Fudcon with many task
accomplish and many more to do. Thanks to all, it was a privilege to share this experience with yo.
