In the last days: - People from México (remember, my primary language is Spanish, as you can see in my strange version of English) asked me if they can host a repo for the packages our local community compiled. - New tutorials were uploaded to our site. - Started selling our T-Shirts to have money, and pay the tickets for speakers living in other states than mine (I live in Buenos Aires). - Received with great happiness your mail about SchilliX, Garret's mail about IllumOS, and Rich Lowe's email about onnv_142. - Planned for the SFD'10 meeting without the help of any company or business based fundings. - Planned our new meeting for August. - Our community participated in a podcast about collaboration in an educational project between several Spanish-speaking communities. We're living exciting times!
