Here you are only talking about technical accessibility. What about 
social and cultural accessibility? Wikis and bug trackers aren't enough 
to make people participate... What I mean is that the Vietnam venue is a 
chance to touch people who didn't have our opportunity to be introduced 
to free software -- because no one comes to free software by chance.
