I've taken finally a more active role and I've proposed the creation of generic Portuguese Language Forums and made myself available to moderate the European Portuguese ones. I'm also making myself available to become an ambassador for Portugal and organize an event (this has mostly been planned with the support of the local city hall for Fedora but never went through), so I'm picking it up for the future.
As I'm starting something with SUSE Studio which was unreliable with Fedora due to some weird package dependencies from the Red Hat Desktop Team and specially due to my inactivity there, I'm ceasing soon my ties with Fedora Project (alongside with other reasons which don't matter for anyone except me and them, in a way personal).
I'm also making myself available for establishing cooperation with Brazilian users and Ambassadors to reach a mutual agreement on Portuguese Forums as there are two official branches (European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese) so we can provide a better offer to our audiences. Maybe someday we can do a launch campaign in Portuguese for the whole Portuguese speakers in the world ;)
File bellow (might have errors, dunno, but the idea is clear). I've submitted it to forum moderators.

Hi Nelson,
I had a quick look at your proposal, and it seems really good to me. Thaks for the time you're investing to make this project possible!
I believe it would be good if you can find a Brazilian person to design eventual PT_BR forums that could be put online at the same time as the (european) PT forums.
Also, please follow the established Forums languages guidelines to create the (european) portuguese openSUSE forums : http://forums.opensuse.org/english/news/announcements/432590-establishing-la...
In addition, I strongly suggest you to find one or two other people willing to moderate the (european) PT forums. It's a very time consuming task that can't be done efficiently by a single person.
Good point, but the issue is, we are few Portuguese, so there shouldn't be very much traffic expected, that is why I can take responsability for the start for a Portuguese Forum (Portugal). Would be folly to take it for Brazilian as they are far more than us and will for sure generate far more traffic. Going live only on European Portuguese, would be problematic, that is why I expect Brazilian volunteers to take charge on Brazilian forums and help with general Portuguese. As for European Portuguese foruns only, that I believe 1 man can do it, but like I said, during this months of research I've only found 2 people who replied my emails, Carlos and Antonio. Discussed with Carlos which doesn't have enough time... I don't know anyone else... If they appear, sure we're reinforce the ranks, but until then... I really don't know what to do ;) Maybe a newspaper add :P nelson PS: Anyway the reason why I send this to this list was to get more people in discussing this, specially the Brazilian Ambassadors that can also use this as a tool for their work. As for the proper means, I've contacted already the forums administrator by PM as they requested. I've posted in the past (some months ago a topic about it and waited all this time to see if someone moved it forward, no one did, so I'm trying to do it with the only person I know that is interested, and that is me).
Regards,
R.
