Speaking Spanish and learning about other cultures are some of my favorite things, studied from 1993-now. I can give my talk in the native language! I will help organize pre-festival if Spanish/English communication is an issue...I'm not a real-time translation expert (like you have had in the booths) so if assistance is needed from an tech/artistic/culture/day-to-day standpoint, I'm game. ...and really excited.

Of course I offer all my support, and I guess I can get the same from the institutions/communities I participate in... despite I don't live in Buenos Aires, but in Córdoba, as Dave and Felipe know. I think we have much work to do in Argentina regarding libre graphics, so hosting an LGM is a challenge and an excellent opportunity to build a stronger community including more users, designers, artists, students... Argentina would be also a very affordable option for our friends from Brasil, Uruguay and Chile, at least, to participate of LGM. best, </blockquote> </div> 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.
