We are not "España" we are the "OSGeo Spanish Language chapter". We had 
a "hot" debate about the short name for "Capítulo Local de la comunidad 
hispano-hablante de OSGeo". The result has been: "OSGeo-es".
This could change a little bit from the actual styled icon, but I'm sure 
we can find a solution.
