Latin America
Latin America Drupal users community
Welcome to this meeting point for participation and communication on Drupal topics related to Latin America. This is the forum to share regional and local issues that may be of interest or useful to users from more than one Latin American country, such as Drupal news, events, and other activities.
An example is events like DrupalCamps that can be of interest to users and participants from neighboring countries. It's advisable to publish these events in both the organizing local group and the Latin America group. This group can also be used for topics on participation as user in the Latin American DrupalCon. On the other hand, to collaborate in the organization of this event, the group is DrupalCon South America.
For very local issues (a city or a country), like group news and activities, small events and informal gatherings (meetups), it's appropriate to communicate in the corresponding local group. You can check the directory of Latin America groups.
And for general -non local- Drupal topics, such as using Drupal, modules, translations, technical issues, etc., it's highly recommended to use Spanish, the group of Spanish-speaking Drupal users worldwide, and the Brasil group for Portuguese-speakers, so that everyone can benefit and participate.
In this Latin America group, English is the recommended language for international communication. Spanish and Portuguese are also used for local topics.

Drupal Tour Centroamerica 2009
From 1st of August to 9th of September 2009, I'm travelling from Nicaragua over El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize to México. During the trip, I'm doing drupal workshops with people of the free software community.
Del 1 de Agosto hasta el 9 de Septiembre 2009, estoy viajando desde Nicaragua hasta México, pasando por El Salvador, Guatemala y Belize. Realizo talleres de drupal con comunidades de software libre durante este viaje.
Archivar el grupo Latin America
En 3 años la actividad de este grupo a sido mínima y en vista de que estamos buscando congregar antes que dividir, opino que:
1. este grupo sea archivado: nadie más pueda unirse y el mensaje de bienvenida dirija a los visitantes al grupo Spanish
2. a los post se les agregue el tag: Latin America, para hacer referencia al grupo donde estaban
3. Se invite a los miembros de este grupo a unirse al grupo [[http://groups.drupal.org/spanish|Spanish]]

Hola a todos!
pues ayer miércoles 29 fue nuestro primer Drupal Meetup GDL. Los asistentes fuimos:

Sabemos que todavía hay varios drupaleros en guadalajara que pueden unirse a estas reuniones, así que esta fue la primera de muchas, pero más tarde pondré un post sobre eso.
Fue una reunión sencilla donde platicamos de lo que cada uno más o menos conoce de Drupal. En general, las áreas de interés que surgieron por ahí son estas:
Primer drupal meetup en Guadalajara
Hola a todos
Esta es una convocatoria para organizar un grupo de usuarios de drupal en Guadalajara (creo que en méxico en general todavía no hay nada). En lo personal trabajo con otros 2 amigos en una pequeña empresa aquí y pues para casi todo usamos drupal.
Nos gustaría saber quién más trabaja usando Drupal en México, conocernos en persona, y empezar a compartir y aumentar nuestros conocimientos.

Why do we use English? [Draft]
[Draft document]
English is the standard language in this group since people from Brazil and countries abroad South America are collaborating with us.
El Inglés es el lenguaje estándar en este grupo porque gente de Brasil y países fuera de Sudamérica están colaborando con nosotros.
O inglês é a língua padrão deste grupo porque voluntários do Brasil
e países sul-americanos hispânicos contribuem conosco.
Factocracia - un principio que nos identifica
Hoy para mi es el pan de cada día sentir la necesidad de aportar algo al Software Libre, y mi medio más usado es Drupal. Pero, esta motivación y entusiasmo tan fuerte que tengo no estuvieron siempre ahí, ¿Cómo es que un consumista pasó a ser un productor?. La respuesta es: algo lo impactó en el camino.
DrupalCamp Campinas is coming!!!
Morning folks!
In two weeks we will have DrupalCamp Campinas, the first DrupalCamp in South America ever!! :)

Visita a Washington DC - Washington DC visit.
Spanish
Por unos días de la semana pasada, un grupo de Drupaleros sudamericanos se reunió en Washington DC para sumergirse en el mundo Drupal, conocer gente y en general tener un tiempo maravilloso en la Capital de los EU. Algunos de ellos como yo, estuvieron hasta el último minuto en busca de entradas que se habían agotado mucho antes de empezar la conferencia.
Mucho gusto
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that it was wonderful to meet so many of you at the DrupalCon South America BOF last Saturday. And special thanks to develcuy and the Peru crew for the awesome t-shirt, which I am wearing proudly. :)
I look forward to the next time we can hang out together, and I'm happy to do whatever I can to help make DCSA a reality, so just give me a shout.
Saludos,
Margaux / Maggie
