GNOME Latam

• Took place March 27 (Sat)
• Talks were in Spanish and Portuguese
• Daniel's update:
• talking about how everyone can get involved in GNOME/open source if you're not a developer
• Translators, designers, etc.
• Was a great experience for many people who don't speak English 10 speakers
• Already thinking about GNOME Latam 2 - lots of interest from the people who attended
• Sri: did you feel the event was well supported, was there anything else we could have helped with?
• Daniel: getting the video off BBB could be more accessible
