Thank you Ricardo, this is *VERY* helpful and I'm sure Jos appreciates this awesome list that he'll be able to reference and add to his cache of press contacts for openSUSE.
New question: Since you mention that most of these publications are external from Central America, I am curious what do most people in the Central America FOSS community rely on to follow news about events? Are there major non-"non-official-media" bloggers that people follow? Is there anyone we can contact to ask them to publish our information on their blogs?
I am not able to answer it. My recent experience with Central America don't let me talk about it. I know there is irc channel #sl-centroamerica (Software Libre Centro America) most people communicate each other. Let ask some people like tian2992, konelix, itxshell, etc...) Sure they know better than me.
Also, what about social media sites? I know there is a openSUSE Honduras facebook page created by itxshell. And Sebastian showed me a GoSH (openSUSE Guatemala users group) website a long time ago. Let's figure out those as well and ask them to promote/publish our announcements as well.
I can post it on openSUSE en Español (Facebook) and openSUSE Panama Users Group (Facebook), and making an invitation to some groups from Colombia like Fundacion Casa del Bosque (FCB), and other I can remember ATM.
As you know, I am very interested in making sure our Summit is bi-lingual so that we can join the nearby communities in US and Latin America. We need your help to continually spread the word. It is important that we get Spanish-speakers to submit CfP's or we won't actually have bi-lingual event. So we're counting on you guys to be our Spanish-language marketeers! :-)
I am supporting the idea and posting as much as I can to spread the word (English-Spanish)
Again, many thanks so far to all of you for your great work!
Welcome as always I do. :-D
Bryen
