Hi Alexandro,
Thanks for the answer. As written: the request is OK for me.
About the situation: do I understand it correct that this is a sort of
first step in Nicaragua?
Ciao - Cor

Central america and the caribbean is a "gray area" in OOoES which
means that we dont get much participation form there. However this
event could bring central america on board. ECSL is the first central
american free software event that is done at a region wide area, not
just 1 country but all 6 principal central american countries.
So far I will have a skype interview with the organizers to get a
better sense of the event.
Luis is a long time contributor of OOoES for almost 8 years now, he
has migrate more than 150 businesses to OpenOffice.org in Colombia,
Venezuela and other south american countries. He is very knowledgable
of OOo implementations in the enterprise and has a very well
recognized profiles in the hispanic community. Has given multiple
talks to businesses in Argentina, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico
and Colombia.
On a Skype conference he showed the availability of the event and is
willing to travel to Nicaragua on his own dime. So I am asking on his
behalf to get a subsidy of 300 dls to help him on his trip.

Sounds OK, and not only to me ;-)
Forgive me my ignorance, but can someone give some short description about
the OpenOffice.org / open source groups in Nicaragua, Colombia, ..., what
activities they have, the role of Luis E. Vasquez and so on.
This helps me to place the activity better in perspective.
Thanks a lot,
Cor

Hi I want to reuqest a $300 dls fund for Luis E Vasquez on his trip to
Nicaragua to attend the ECSL (Encuentro Centroamericano de Software
Libre). The event would take place in June and would be a week long
however he will just be able to attend 2 days. He will be taking off
from Medellin Colombia and would be giving a talk on Migrations to
OpenOffice.org. The event is the first in central america and has the
participation of crew from Guatemala, Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama and
Costa Rica (not sure if Honduras and Belize as well).
The event seems to have no presence from OpenOffice.org, having Luis
will bring more visibility to the project and also participation from
a "Gray Area (no volunteers)" in the collaboration within LatinAmerica.
The event site is: http://encuentro.sl-centroamerica.org/
They have a wiki, identi.ca group and blog about the event and seems
the organization and attendance expectation is worthwile of our
presence.
Regards.
