RES: [OSGeo-Conf] 2011 Process

[Lorenzo Becchi]

Rafael, all,
I feel that FOSS4G 2010 can be the perfect occasion to invite people from
Latin America to join the international community in a friendly environment.
We will probably have spanish live translation for the mail room and  at
least half of the attendance will be able to speak spanish.
we are thinking to offer the chance to present in spanish in some slots of
the conference.
