Well, then we can do the databse first (LDAP is a good idea since we can do an 
addressbook resource ) and make the map read from the directory... does LDAP 
support pictures?

I agree

Well, all other countries are listed by country and not by continent, and 
having a contact per country is a good idea to promote kde more intensively.
I do all I can to promote it... Kopete is pretty famous at my university and 
all people here call it the Chilean messenger for Linux :-) .... my 
experience made lot of young people to motivate to start writing software. I 
have gave 2 presentations, one at LinuxForum at my Univ. for that one we got 
lot of people and all was organized by me and two friends. Pictures of the 
croud:

The other was at Hackit 2002 Chile.... less people but more programmers

I hope we can have more focused contacts per country, and I wait for more core 
developers to comment our offers for Chile and Brazil.

Cheers
Duncan
