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?
