>> Hello all.

>> after checking the wiki[0] I could add a few points, as you people said,
>> it's almost there. I will just add things that I think could be add in each

>> I think it would be great if we can have a solid form that people can

>> ========== Venue Selection Guidelines ==========
>>
>> * Ethical/Political Issues
>> * Security
>> * Health
>> * Free Software Acceptance or Support in the Host Country
>> * Money
>>      - Short list of potential local and foreign sponsors with someone
>> listed as contact, which in this case could make easier the international
>> group to make a follow up of sponsorship status.
>> * Time
>>      - To time, it should be add the possibility of colliding events with
>> the estimated dates where LGM would be hold.
>> * The LGM Projects’ teams
>> * The Local Teams
>> * Venue and On-Site Infrastructure
>>      - Even if would be better to have a gratis venue, if so, costs
>> should be added as info.

also need to be evaluated possible proxys. in ltam is normal to only open
-p 80 and use a huge black list on it. So it has to be evaluated how open
can the network be.
