That´s correct. As Santiago says, we want to internationalize linuxtour.org.
As a first step, we´re going to include information from the Central and
Latin American communities, but we´re open to any collaboration with other
communities/countries as well.

The idea is to have a centralized site with information about events, and
resources that will help the communities organize the events (tutorials,
FAQs, info about speakers, presentations available for download, templates
and other artwork, etc.)
