              Guillermo, best of luck for organizing FOSS4G-EC.<br>
              Let us know if you need any help. You can also<br>
              think of an wiki-page like our friends are done<br>
              for FOSS4G-EU 2017 [1] and requesting for<br>
              who maybe interested to join FOSS4G-EC to<br>
              add their names to the wiki. Once the dates<br>
              are fixed, you could send a upcoming event item for<br>
              the OSGeo website [2].<br>

                      Hi Guillermo!<br>
                      <br>
                      Great news about FOSS4G-Ecuador plans, this is
                      wonderful.  There are very<br>
                      few limitations and rules for holding a FOSS4G in
                      your country, and that is<br>
                      why it has spread around the whole world so fast!
                      :)  You should quickly<br>
                      purchase the domain <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                        href="http://foss4g.ec" rel="noreferrer"
                        target="_blank">http://foss4g.ec</a> and then
                      start thinking of your logo:<br>
                      really the only consistent part of FOSS4G (besides
                      the FOSS4G spirit) is the<br>
                      ribbon in the logo, which symbolizes sharing and
                      the flow of ideas and<br>
                      innovation in the community - check here for some
                      past ideas<br>
                      <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://foss4g.org"
                        rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://foss4g.org</a>
                      but there are many more out there.  Another great
                      example<br>
                      is the FOSS4G-SOTM Argentina 2017 logo: <a
                        moz-do-not-send="true"
                        href="http://www.foss4g-ar.org/"
                        rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.foss4g-ar.org/</a><br>
                      <br>
                      In terms of Latin America and FOSS4G, it is great
                      to see so many events<br>
                      popping up for 2017 (Argentina, Brazil,
                      Peru,...).  I also try to help these<br>
                      events along, so I will be happy to join your
                      local committee meetings<br>
                      remotely and provide any help along the way - my
                      pleasure!<br>
                      <br>
                      So yes please share the FOSS4G spirit in Ecuador
                      and plant the seed for our<br>
                      future generations! :)  Thank you Guillermo! (and
                      talk soon)<br>
