In just a few weeks, the Fedora community in Latin America will hold a major FUDCon event in Santiago, Chile, from July 15-17, 2010. You can find all the details on our wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Santiago_2010 Encouraging the growth of Fedora community around the world is important to our project. That's why the responsibilities of the Fedora Project Leader include lowering barriers and advocating for involvement and participation. One of the ways the FPL does this is by traveling to different community events and talking about the way that Fedora works, and our dedication to sustainable community and free software development. So I'm very pleased and excited to announce that our new Fedora Project Leader Jared Smith's first appearance at a community event will be at the FUDCon in Santiago, Chile. In addition, just a few days afterward Jared will attend the FISL 11 conference in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Both events represent a unique opportunity for the Fedora Project to support our friends and extend our community in Latin America. As always, the FUDCon event in Santiago is free and open to everyone to register and attend. We look forward to seeing the community at these events!
