We have a mailing list and we're almost finished the process to be an official LC of OSGeo. You can get more info at our entry page[1] at osgeo wiki or go to the #osgeo-es irc channel to see if there's someone Finally, in February 2009 there will be an event at La Habana (Cuba) where some OSGeoers will meet to perform a one day workshop and some presentations about OSGeo and other projects[2].
