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

Thanks for your nice reply, Sylvain.<br>

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

Hi Alex,<br>
<br>
all the personal need to work in La Paz, Bolivia. But you can<br>
compete and come to discover Bolivia for one year, you'll be welcome<br>
:)<br>
<br>
And like you say, there is much to do, but it's very useful to have<br>
a growing users community, with additionally some users switching<br>
from users to developers. Much to do too in translating to Spanish,<br>
hope we will contribute a lot this year.<br>
<br>
Sylvain<br>
