When it comes to swag, in some cases it is cheaper and easier if the groups prepare a budget that the Foundation later finances. The rationale: manufacturing t-shirts, bags, stickers, etc. is cheaper in places like Latin America than the US or Europe, and sending money is usually cheaper than sending a heavy box with stuff. AFAIK, this is what has been done for GNOME Chile in the previous years, I suspect that for other places it can work well too. Germán probably knows more details.

Market share of epiphany seems to be really low [1], I don't think it would be worth. If it was about a symbolic retribution, I would say that Google already does a lot for GNOME.

No, it doesn't. The good thing of distributing the duties to the local groups, is that you can delegate that, too. User groups can take care of asking for the physical addresses, making this process more efficient.

On a related note (probably only interesting for those who speak Spanish), I prepared a talk with the same title that we presented at many events in Chile. People say the talk is pretty funny. The original version is here [1][2], I might be uploading an updated version anytime (hint: if interested, ask for it, so that I actually do it).

I like your idea. I think we need to sum up efforts and coordinate among Latin American communities in order to achieve this and other goals. I'd like to propose that we use a mailing list for this. We in Chile have been using both gnome-cl-list and GNOME Hispano mailing lists for coordination of things, but if this runs too far from what could be also interesting for the spanish crew, maybe a gnome-la list wouldn't hurt.

Even if it's > only a small demo in a local university? As a coincidence, the guys from GNOME Chile are planning for that day the "9a reunión de formación de desarrolladores para GNOME" (GNOME developers training meeting) in a university in Santiago. More information about the meeting can be found (in spanish) in: http://wiki.gnome.cl/Novena_Reunion These meetings usually have instructional purposes on what is GNOME, how the project works, how to begin to contribute, and usually there is space for users advocacy and practices on GTK+ and other GNOME related technologies. The audience is usually around 30-50 people, and we've gained a couple of guys helping to the spanish i18n team, a few interested on hacking and learning how the development platform works, and of course, more exposure of the desktop in the universities that have holded the meetings. I wonder, do you have any idea of how can this be improved, in particular regarding the software freedom day? For us in Chile is hard to get CDs shiped fastly (Ubuntu copies got to my place in Chile after two months of wait). Probably GNOME Live cds can be burned for that day, it will depend of the fundings or good will the guys in Chile can get. T-Shirts or other kind of GNOME merchandising, are availaible in some form we can get it?
