Hi Tiago, Thanks for posting a great question. You've hit on some issues the IxDA Board and Local Leaders are aware of and exploring:
How can we build awareness of IxDA outside of the USA through local groups? How can we best support new and existing local groups that would prefer to use their local language over English (something Sweden is doing, as an example)? This question has come up not only for event notifications, but also discussions on the list. Local groups do not need to be national, either. We have groups that are organizing at a national level and city level, as well. There are some groups just starting up and have not yet put themselves on the local list. If you don't see something in your area (http://www.ixda.org/local.php), let me know and we'll see if something is already brewing in your area. But if it isn't, I encourage you and anyone else to take advantage of this opportunity and start a local group. Be a part of bringing more presence to your area. Be a part of shaping how IxDA can best support locations outside of the US. We have a Local Leaders group that you can tap into to support you on this endeavor. Contact me or localgroups (at) ixda.org if you're interested! Janna On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 9:47 AM, Tiago Marques <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > So, my question.
