Hi,First at all: José, you must go to DebConf this year :-) I believe I've never joined a DebConf without you there, It's a tradition :-)
My suggestion to you would be organize a MiniDebConf in Lisbon next year on the first semester (for instance, near Fosdem date?). As Andrea said on another email, It seems there is more competion on the second semester.

Our intention is not to compete with the Main DebConf but to complement it. To have rooms with video display to show the main talks in Argentina in real time and ways for the people in Lisbon to participate on the talk. Much of the people that is not willing to go to Argentina will not go anyway to Portugal. We do not have a big team to organise a big MiniDebConf to compete with Argentina in size. We need much more volunteers for the local team even to organise this MiniDebConf. In my opinion in the end is better for all Debian if we can gather all the people in place during DebConf being in Argentina, Portugal or other remote places from Argentina. We are a global organisation, why we can not have a global event spread around the world?
