Hey guys,
I have seen some misunderstanding on this regarding, and I would like to
give my thoughts, I hope it helps.
For some time I thought like Frederico, that Brazil would need some as
mentor due our cultural and language differences, but after more than 6
years as Mentor and 8 as Ambassador, I believe that this is not really
relevant.
Is there a language barrier? Yes, but we need to work with this as a
community by integrating, helping and bringing people together. The
Mentor's role in our community is to guide the new ambassadors during
theirs first steps and to advise the others ambassadors, *however* this
role to guide and help new ambassadors is not limited to the Mentors, if
someone in Brazil wants to join the ambassadors team and can not
communicate with a choose Ambassador because of the language, someone in
Brazil can perfectly help this process, and I believe that this could be a
opportunity of this new ambassador to get in touch with a new language and
learn.
Every country have their singularities and we must to know how to handle it
to grow the LATAM region as community and the ambassadors on each country
have the responsibility deal with the specifically needs from your country.
Also, think that it as a opportunity to learn rather than an issue to give
up.
To sum up, everyone is LATAM and there is no language barrier stronger than
collaboration, and in my opinion the candidate's experience and
availability, are more important than his/her native language.
Thanks,

I know that Echevemaster,
Mentors are for the community not for just one country,
the problem is with Brazil, our education is very very poor,
our politicians only want to get rich and forgets who elected they.
55% of our high school students don't even know how to write brazilian
portuguese well,
we don't even know our native language, much less spanish (or types of
spanish) or english.
I would like so much that we speak natively a highly adopted language like
spanish in Brazil.
But we speak an hard to learn language like brazilian portuguese with lots
of exceptions in our grammatic.
I'm new in Fedora, and I don't have to speak like I did last meeting. I'm
sorry for that.
I'm from Fedora Latam, not just from one country.
Thanks.
and sorry for my bad english, I will also try to get better with that.

for being the new mentors in Latam, hoping both understand that they will
not be the mentors of their own countries but whole Latam and hoping as
well that Federico understands that he is a deputy of Latam in Famsco, not
in Brazil.

Now there is already one complaint about one of the candidates and this
happens because the lack of rules, and this rules needs to be established
only for our Region.
