Most of them are government employees that have started to work with FOSS just because of money issues in their agencies or institutions. Argentina is not different from any other country, we have the same problems: all Universities only teach with proprietary software so every professional that cames out to the market only knows about some specific tools. Definitively we want, and we must, to change that. Our plan is to organize a specific activity related with Geo4All where we put together people from different Universities with people that already have good experience working and teaching with FOSS4G. We think this would be a "mind change" event, we need to evangelize people to make them know that FOSS is the way to go, not because of money, because of freedom. I, and some others here, can talk a lot about this but no one will pay as much attention as they will to someone like María. She's not only the Queen of FOSS4G, she is a great leader and an awesome speaker. We need her here to convince those all professors and decision takers from Universities to move into the FOSS4G world.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'>....<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#212121'> Besides these specific activities, I will have a keynote about OSGeo and our activity.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black'>I'm able to organize my first semester teachings in such a way to have one free week and therefore I'm able to go.
