Yeah, we would like to host the next Debconf in Brazil, Porto Alegre, some days 
before the International Free Software Forum. Thus, devels can join us at this 
event, if they like.

Before make a "official proposal", we are checking for free food and 
accommodations, plane tickets and some government support.  

As the dollar is 1,00 to 2.89 real (local money) this travel should be very 
cheap. :)

I've been waiting for them to speak up as they have said they would. I
am in favour of holding Debconf 4 in South America, but will organise it
in Vancouver if necessary.

the lesson learned from the debconfs so far is that a strong
local usergroup handling all the odd jobs and a good deal of the
other jobs in mandatory for a smooth event. You could see that in
bordeaux and oslo. You together with the two people that helped
you in Toronto were on the low side, i felt. This year were four
people more or less full time running the event, with 15 more
doing odd jobs here and there. Every day about
18h(gym)+3*12h(confernce)=66h of work in one or an other form
were spent.

On that note i heard from people in south america (with quite a
bit of local and national support) who wanted to hold next years
debconf/camp. This might be a good time for them to make their
preliminary plans heard.
