greetings, this is my first post on this list.
last year, for the event, I went from Canada
to Tacna (Peru) and it was good.
this year I am on my way to Peru too yet
we are not sure which city will we do.
It is under discussion in our groups if we should do a big city
as Lima this time,
...something smaller perhaps,
or even are under consideration remote areas as small municipalities
in amazons
that during the last weeks we see increased interest in ubuntu from them.
...we welcome anybody to Peru :)

In remote areas, from experience that I have, I see
that T-shirts are not as affective for the adults
as it would be for the children. Perhaps because of the regional poverty
children would use more the T-shirts than the adults and they seems to me
an effective advertising. If we could have
child's design (size) with some heart that would say "I love ubuntu" ...I
think would be cool.
Parents look at  "what children have on the T-shirt" too.

Cheers

Malko
