Hi Boud,
You’re raising many points in the same sentence.
Do we need to go to a specific area on the globe to have new developers
from that area ? I can hardly agree with this as an argument in favor of
just about any venue. Who ever has Internet access, no matter where
he/she lives, can participate in just about any project. LGM is
precisely interesting because it gathers people from all the world. Only
budget or ignorance prevents someone to come to LGM and / or contribute
to a project.
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.
Ciao,
Alex
