Hi Lincoln,
(CC'ing Farsides mailing-list and attaching the thread history)
Hello there :D

Yup, the minigame isn't great, we have got lots of complaints about it.
We'll need to either improve it (it was coded in a rush for the Mozilla
Game On deadline, and is not very accessible right now) or remove it
altogether imho.
Hehe, don't do it before I finish this game :D
I guess my best shots are going to be with my network of friends. I
know a lot of developers and small companies in Belo Horizonte (my
home town), São Paulo and Brasília that would be nice to talk about
it.
That would be amazing - thanks so much for this. Would you need anything
from us to be able to have those conversations?
My first mission is to check the interest/availability of my
indications to work on a game studio. Is there something special that I
need to talk with them? Maybe one or another guy can ask me some
thing about money but I can just say that it's not my business :D
The best would be to be able to organize a few individual meetings when
we come to Brazil - do you think it would be possible, given the
distance between the locations?
Yes, I think so. So, I have a suggestion: I have some companies and
developers in my mind. I can have a talk with each of them and try to
confirm their interest. This way we'll have a smaller list of names
making it easier to you to meet them.

I work for Debian, packaging some xmpp and javascript stuff. I also
package and maintain an almost dead game called Freecraft.
Oh, so you like games too... We definitely need to talk. : )
Hehe, I'm not a good player, but I like to hack things like this. The
only game I can say I know how to play is OpenArena.
On my side I'm more RPG/RTS/MMO/Adventure, but I won't claim I'm a
master player! Would be nice if we could find a game to play while we
are in Brazil. : ) Any plans to visit Sao Paulo soon?
Humm, not yet, if you're coming, but I can find some time to go there.
I'm currently living in Belo Horizonte but with plans to move soon to
Porto Alegre.
It would be amazing to meet you and share my point of view about it
with you.
Agreed. We should be deciding on the dates soon - if you think of any
event or date that would be good, let me know.
Humm, I'll look for a FS meeting. The first one that comes to my mind
is our International Free Software Forum (FISL) that happens in 29/Jun
in Porto Alegre.
But It depends on your travel date. Feel free to choose a good date
to you.
Yep, the FISL would be perfect, but it's still a bit far away. May be
interesting to come back for it, but hopefully we'll be able to visit
earlier.
I like this meeting because of the possibility to meet a lot of
developers there but it would be really good to talk with you before
this :D
Many thanks again : )
Welcome!
Cheers
