+Wow.
+
+Okay, it was just a couple of ideas I was throwing up in the air, but so
+everyone can have an opportunity to see... here ya go :)
+
+<tallship> flood coming...
+<tallship> We are a major point of call for the Free Software community
+in Mexico, Latin America and the world. Además de ser un lugar de
+acercamiento de nuevas personas al mundo fascinante de Linux y el Sw
+Libre, también ofrecemos un espacio de participación en la búsqueda de
+ideas y proyectos innovadores que consoliden al Software Libre como una
+herramienta de vanguardia para empresas, desarrolladores, estudiantes,
+profesores y p
+<tallship> ersonas involucradas con el uso, difusión y desarrollo de
+software.  Besides being a place to approach new people to the
+fascinating world of Linux and Free Sw also offer a forum for
+participation in the search for innovative ideas and projects that
+strengthen the Free Software as a cutting-edge tool for businesses,
+developers, students , teachers and people involved with the use,
+dissemination and development of software.
+<tallship> in terms of numbers of attendees, it may not seem all that
+significant, but the speakers list typically looks like a who's who of
+FOSS and other ares of the industry with some big players.
+<tallship> They expect about 750 attendees, yet the media coverage is
+going to be significant.
+<tallship> He's got an hour - that's a long time. He's going to need a
+translated version of the slide show, and perhaps a demonstration w/a
+[hopefully] new look to some of the tools intrinsic to Mandrake/Mandriva
+as they are incarnated in Mageia would be a good thing.
+<tallship> I think it's perfect timing wrt our Alpha release - it will
+have occurred.
+<tallship> I think it's an even better date since we will have our
+first, maybe second alpha out w/our April 2kx1 release on schedule, and
+be able to tout this to the media at the conference.
+<tallship> 23, 24, and 25 February 2011 are the dates.
+<tallship> I think that what is most important, is that we have
+representation in attendance with a speaker (1hr - that's great!). This
+convention goes a long way toward how the waters flow in Mexico and
+South America.
+<tallship> Such adoption is critical in those parts of the world where
+specialized regional Linux Distributions have been the predominant
+distros for a few years now.
+<tallship> A truly global Linux Distro - i.e., Mageia - translates into
+easy integration and operability in multi-national companies (and
+universities adopting its usage does this too).
+<tallship> If we can make a big splash in Latin America, this also
+results in assimilation of the technology (meaning, the Mageia Linux
+distro) further north in the United States where there are (you fill in
+the blank here) xxxx million Spanish speaking citizens, residents, and
+students in the potential user base.
+<tallship> On another note: as far as slogans, one liners, I've got a
+few ideas stemming from the etymology of the word 'Mageia'...
+<tallship> "Mageia! It's Like Magic!
+<tallship> "The Magic of Mageia"
+<tallship> "Wield the Magic in Mageia"
+<tallship> "There's Magic in Mageia"
+<tallship> "It's all in the magic. Mageia Linux"
+<tallship> "Harness the Magic of Linux with Mageia"
+<tallship> "Mageia - It's Magic in the Enterprise"
+<tallship> "The Magic of Mageia"
+<tallship> "Mageia Magic - at home in the Enterprise"
+<tallship> "Mageia! It's Magic!"
+<tallship> "Unleash the Magic of Mageia"
+<tallship> "The Magic of Mageia"
+<tallship> "Mageia. It's Magic"
+<tallship> you get the idea ;)
+* tallship is afk
