Latin America Tour

This is the page where it's being planned! Feel free to comment.

Tasks

• [Sep 26th] Send budget doc (gpoo and diegoe)
• [Oct 2nd] Finish website

Stops

For now, the following are official stops for the tour:

Draft website

Here some ideas for the website:

• Most of it in one page
• Different pages for locations (one each) and one for the latino gnomos (latignomos? :P)
• Stops sounds negative, is there any other word for it? In Spanish it's "Escala" (not to market my name, haha :P)

Agenda

Throw your ideas for joint discussion here:

• Share material and set common points of work: documentation, activities, experiences, the next tour
• Try to schedule events along the year to keep the region active over the year
• Sit down and write a clear "map" on how you can join GNOME in 10 simple steps
• Make it clear -somehow- that our region is really active and give examples to follow to possible new contributors

Welcome text

GNOME LatinAmerica Tour 2008 This is the official page for GNOME's LatinAmerica Tour 2008. This project has one only goal: promote the integration, creation and fostering of GNOME contributors in LatinAmerica.

This year, GNOME-br and GNOME-cl will be hosting stops for the Tour. Respectively Fórum GNOME and Encuentro Linux.

GNOMEs from all over the region will fly to both events to meet, plan, ... and fiesta! (ok, silly joke). The main goal for this first tour will be to get closer to each other among the current contributors and plan the road ahead to make it easy to new contributors to get involved.

Goals

Some extracts from Agenda (see above)

Would you like your country to be a stop for the tour next year? Would you like to become a contributor to the project? Would you like to be there?

Then start rocking! Start contributing!. (brief mention to collaboration points and "how" they can be a stop next year, although I think the stops will be decided similar to this year: chance and proximity of dates).
