Sergio,

The domains projetofedora.org and proyectofedora.org, was created in 2006 to help the community LATAM have a way to better reach the local community.
Maybe you think, why? It's not just because of the domain, but mainly because of the content. In the official infrastructure have some rules about it.
So, if we have it outside fedora official infrastructure, we have a informal way to spread Fedora in LATAM without all the formalities required (e.g. speak about codecs,
and proprietary formats..).

During this time we had some help from Red Hat LATAM to pay for the server, but not anymore. And now all the services all be moving to another when everyone (from the community) can access, and the control is with us, don't exist just one guy, in the past everyone who wanted to help or to do something was welcome, but iformally I took this role to do most thigs.

And now with this new server the intention is to pass more control to each director of each country. And i'm doing it. And who want to help, is very welcome to do it.

trouble understanding it.]

According to the decision that has been taken in the last meeting of
#fedora-latam, the domain should be transferred to Jared Smith.

The way I see it, the only way to avoid the control of the domain by
only one person is to define a group of people who will take care of it,
and who will have access to its administrative interface.  Otherwise,
this problem will repeat.

If it is possible to host things using fedoraproject.org's
infrastructure, it should be done, in my opinion.

Mailing lists?  Really?  I did not know that you run mailing lists in
the proyectofedora.org domain...  My opinion, again, is that everything
should be concentrated on fedoraproject.org.  Am I being too naive here?
Are there any reasons why we should host our own mailing lists?  Unless
it really can't be done using the fedoraproject.org.

Not directly affected by proyectofedora.org, but:

* Fedora Brasil: http://projetofedora.org/

Is outdated as well.  I don't know what is happening.  I was planing to
send a message to the brazilian ambassadors list asking, but forgot.
