Hi Peter,
CentralAmerica a while ago that it was included in the wiki of SFD.
Its population's +95% speaks Spanish. [1] [2]
For all Latin America, the American continent is divided in 3 subcontinents [2] [3]:
America of the North America of the South Central America
The continents are just for a general orientation - we might have even chosen to just list countries alphabetically. You are the first in this year who seems to have a problem with that official continent list.
Liebe Thilo, Ich wohne in Argentinien, Südamerika. The problem was detected in the list of Hispanic planning. Not it is something new: <http://www.google.com/search?q=http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/centralandsouthamerica/> => +1800 results.
Even if we would consider including it, we would have to move all countries from one continent to the other.
The best thing is 1 continent: America. But if he is complicated .. It is easier and quicker, rename 2010/NorthAmerica/ to 2010/CentralandNorthAmerica NorthAmerica has today, single 10 wikipages. Ok?
And then we would have to consider the opposition of other users.
The problem is exactly for the users of the region that we are speaking. Not alone they are excluded, it will also hinder them to be. So much for people of the the organizing teams, like to the public of SFD. We speak of people of the countries of: Costa Rica El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Nicaragua Panamá People that was already participating of SFD. SFD Nicaragua 2007 Team, it was one of the winners of the competition SFD 2007. Before the 2007 there were single 2 teams in the world of Hispanic speech participating of SFD. Now, thanks to the carried out diffusion work. Besides FLISOL (Festival Latinoamericano de Instalación de Software Libre) that is carried out in +250 cities, we are also celebrating SFD. I believe necessary to respect them. I trust you. Thank you for their attention. Regards, p_eter
And if I read this:
""Central America" may mean different things to different people in the world according to the context..."
... I do not think it would be a good idea to play that card, especially not at this point of preparations. Central America just seems to be a blurry term - and we would have to discuss in length which definition we would take.
And in the end its all about making great local events in our regions, isn't it so?
Regards,
Thilo
