Hi,

@william: I was already asked this morning to go there and I said no, because nobody could tell me for what I am needed there, I dont fly around to burn money or have a nice trip, especially my trip there would cost 1.500$

I did not know that :-/

We need someone of the Design Team in Fudcon Latam for:

1- Improve other Fedora working groups in Latam Community, Latam is a very big region, we have 20 countries with Spanish as the most common language, we have many ambassadors and many packagers, some people in infra and some people in l10n, but we don´t have enough people in others important roles for Fedora promotions in the region, there is people working with design in Latam, and new people coming but these new people are finding the way to really get productive in to the Fedora Project, I have not seem any post for a Latam member in Fedora Magazine yet (I kwon Magazine is marketing but jus is a example).

2- We really want to show than there is many ways to help in Fedora than not requiere tecnicos expertise, and Design is very important for us when need to promote Fedora against other similar products like Open Suse and Ubuntu than have many marketing in the region, but are not as open as Fedora Community for newcomers. Many people come to Fedora and then go away because they dont find a way to get into the community.

3- Local community always have someone than take care about design work for events, but when the event is over these people is going away, are people than can submit a Supplementary Wallpaper for a Fedora release or other stuff like banners and CD Cover or vote in Nuancier, but this people help in its local event and after that they not find a way to get into the project.

In Latam people do not believe much in the local talent, are more assertive, when an outsider who makes the call to participate in something

I know than will very expensive for someone to Fly for NA to Latam, but we are open for not personal talks, we can run a video conference than is inexpensive and just need to acordate a date for it. We really like to get helo from Desing in Fudcon Latam.

Do you think than a teleconference can work? Anyone here can help with a virtual workshop for Fudcon Latam? Maybe mizmo can help us with a update of Fedora Next marketing and some ideas for ambassador to promote these new products?
