I really hope not to have ignited the wrong sentiment with this :-) As a Latin American, I have led all my life in a country with many of the same (sane and insane, clear and obfuscated, clever and stupid) cultural traits of Brazil. I have not properly been to Brazil since 2004, but have repeatedly crossed its airports when travelling to Argentina since my now-wife moved to Mexico. I don't have a single complaint about entering and leaving Brazil, and would be happy to go there again! > I would like to comment this queston: > "Which location do you consider more important for the future of Debian and > why?" > > To me is impossible go to DebConf in Europe/USA because 1 Dollar is > more than 3 Reais.

That's true - But don't just count it in currency equivalence, as it's completely misleading (otherwise we would be hosting DebConf in Japan because of the cheap Yen ;-) ). Latin America has quite low wages; I can say that I live fairly well off in Mexico, as an middle-upper class family, but I still make close to the minimum wage in the USA. So, yes, the costs of life for us Latin Americans are huge when travelling to so-called-developed countries. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
