Perhaps needless to say, but I think Argentina answers concerns that 
many have had about trying to reach out to some new areas of the world 
for LGM. The key thing, as with any LGM, is the local support for 
organizing the event. I can't guarantee that I can come, but I would 
certainly like to and will try hard if that is where it ends up taking 
place.

 From the Scribus project point-of-view, I know we have some struggles 
trying to connect to the Spanish-speaking Scribus users wherever they 
are, so this could definitely advance us in that area.
