Last year there was some buzz that the FOSS4G would be hosted here in
Brazil, but no one (or just a few people) wanted to help organizing the
event. 



It would be great to have an event here in Latin America, but for what
I can see OSGeo in Brazil is mostly used as a "advertising" strategy
(for some, at least), so we have little traction. 



Perhaps the folks that hosted other FOSS4G events could share a bit of
the experience that was. All of the work involved, the steps, etc. That
would help a lot of people and even make a few interested. 



Hoping to see a latin america FOSS4G, 



George

That's true that some members wrote us with that same subject. We are
very interested here in Bolivia, and it would be great to accord on a
way to coordinate and discuss. A mailing list ? A wiki page ? What would
you propose ?

Hi Conference Committee,
there are several mails related to having a FOSS4G in South America.
Mabye we can keep an eye on this and support them from OSGeo.

Cheers,
Arnulf

I hope we will succeed in having a close collaboration between
GeoBolivia and the OSGeo community in some way, this is very important
for us. And like you say, we are very enthusiastic in seeing and
contribute to a regional FOSS4G!

Thanks for your nice reply, Sylvain.

I would certainly like to Bolivia (People say it's beatiful). Anyway,
if there is something I coul do to help,
count on it! Probably we'll see the day of a Latin American FOSS4G.

Hi Alex,

all the personal need to work in La Paz, Bolivia. But you can
compete and come to discover Bolivia for one year, you'll be welcome
:)

And like you say, there is much to do, but it's very useful to have
a growing users community, with additionally some users switching
from users to developers. Much to do too in translating to Spanish,
hope we will contribute a lot this year.

Sylvain
