[Building Sakai] Sakai Brazilian community

[Diego del Blanco Orobitg]

Hi Virgilio:

As Neal says, we, from the S2U (Spanish Sakai Users/Universities) group,
can tell you all our experience with Sakai as a organized regional group. I
think we have achieved a good level of maturity.

If you want, you can view this video about how we work in the S2U:

In the other hand, I'm the representative from Latam... and Brazil is
Latam, so I'll try to help you as much as I can.

I think the problem with Sakai in Brazil (and in most of american
countries) is that people doesn't know Sakai. We can try to improve this!

Best wishes and happy to know that there are interest into create a
stronger community in Brazil.
