>>>>>
>>>>> A nice thing to start a project like this is begin to take "small and
>>>>> reasonable milestones. Look at the project as a global strategy.
>>>>> Probably the first times could be hard, but if u start to move, soon or
>>>>> later, people will come to you. Think that your role is talk to
>>>>> people in Portugal about Fedora and Software Freedom. This is an
>>>>> enourmus task, but , its a responsability too. Be focused on the
>>>>> main objetive can help, to not become sad or dissapointed.

>>>>>>
>>>>>> The only support I have had, has been the Brazilian ambassadors as

>>>>>> Padula.
>>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> Thats why u are not alone!!!!. I know personally Rodrigo, and I know

>>>>>>
>>>>>> In Portugal Fedora is unknown, has a bad translation, has no wiki and
>>>>>> just does not have a community.
>>>>>> So we urgently need a web site with a forum and a wiki.

>>>>>
>>>>> Very Nice!!!!!, u have the oportunity to "make things happen". A web

>>>>> building...
>>>>>

>>>>>>
>>>>>> We need to bring together the users, and encouraging more people to
>>>>>> translate the Fedora.
>>>>>> With the help of Brazilian ambassadors, the site could start operating
>>>>>> next month.
>>>>>> The question is: who will be there?
>>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> The most important answer: YOU are the beggining for Fedora in
>>>>> Portugal. Do not hesitate. We are all part of all. Not all the ambassadors
>>>>> could help u, but i think that with some chat and some web resources u can
>>>>> start the project. REMEMBER: small milestones. Firs of all, create the site
>>>>> is the firts step, the next the speechs in differnte places, ask for help to
>>>>> newcommers to help you translate documentation, etc. When I found Fedora
>>>>> Argentina in 2006, i was alone.

>>>>>> That is why I ask your opinion:
>>>>>> *it is worth starting the site even alone, without the support of
>>>>>> another 5 Portuguese ambassadors?*
>>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> Yes! IMHO is very important. Push the limits :-). Probably their

>>>>> or other issues, or absense of time. Who knows. All this is my personal
>>>>> opinion, anyway.

>>>>>
>>>>> A good start could be mount the website....
