<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Hello Ian,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">You right
there are some yearly medium size open sources conferences and a great
international level open source conference, with participation of Richard
Stallman (GNU) for example, and Linus Torvalds already attended sometimes.
Maybe this is not much for Europe or US standards, but for South America is completely
outstanding.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Would be
very great to put a feet in such events. I would like to know, in the
experience of yours what structure is need for that. You said about need of others
support, how many is needed?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">What kind
of press releases do you distribute in such conferences? There is some kind of
Live CDs with Amarok for distribution to users?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">The
participation in those conferences has the purpose of increase the user base,
or attracts more programmers/contributors (or both)?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">As you may
know, Brazil is, together with India, one of the places where IT and open
source is in greatest development. This means that there are a lot of potential
to attract, with correct action, new programmers to project. What kinds of
programmers are needed? C/C++ ultra experts only? Or academic experience is
enough for some tasks?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Sorry, I
gave you a lot of questions, but I had a lot of doubts. :-P</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">Best
regards,</span></p>

<br>You'd need to find a few other folks and then contact event organizers<br>to get a booth etc. Amarok has funds to assist you with travel and<br>hostel expenses.<br><br>World domination is inevitable. ;)<br><br>Ian Monroe
