For the list's benefit -- we did have this meeting and I thought it
went extraordinarily well.  Juan "Nushio" Rodriguez was in the room
and transcribing:

http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-latam/2011-01-31/

Three of the most important pieces of information from the meeting, in
my opinion, were:

1. Alejandro is doing a *great* job getting logistics and setup
organized for FUDCon Panama.

2. The LATAM community (and Fedora community in general) need a lot
more communication about what's being done, what remains to be done,
and who is responsible for doing those things. 

3. Alejandro should expect and get help from the people at the meeting
in Tempe, but also from others in LATAM to help make FUDCon Panama the
amazing success we know it can be.
