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. </p>

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. </p>

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. </p>

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 ?<br><br>Sylvain<br><br>El 2012-02-13 13:20, Arnulf Christl escribió:<br> </p>

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><br>El 2012-02-12 22:25, Alex Borrell escribió:<br> </p>

Thanks for your nice reply, Sylvain.<br><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!

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> </p>
