In Chile, as well as in other countries in Latinamerica (LAm, for
short?), there are many people working on education areas based on
FLOSS, however, it seems that it is always too few people.

Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, IIRC, are the
countries with more people working with hands-on FLOSS for education.

There are very brave cases in Bolivia and Peru, esp. if we consider
those people trying to get IT on Education, in areas where even water is
hard to get and the weather nor the geography is 'IT-friendly'.

On *buntu specifics, less people working on this. My humble and personal
view is that we have lot more users of *buntu than contributors to it.
However, we do have some very cool cases in those aforementioned 5 LAm
countries, and yet, we are still moving too slow for my taste... but we
are not stopping.

Always looking forward to contributing,
