Some more points I forgot (not on agenda): - this month is the first ever FOSS4G Buenos Aires event (http://www.foss4g.org.ar/). This is very exciting.
- preparations are well underway for a vibrant FOSS4G-CEE event in Romania in June (http://2013.foss4g-cee.org/). The passion from both these local committees, as I watch them from the outside, is just amazing. I am sure more details will be coming from the upcoming FOSS4G-Korea and FOSS4G-Japan events as well.
