Ola a todos!
At the Encuentro (WikiSampa10) in early October when Barry and I were in Sao Paulo, the topic of planning WMF trips further in advance was raised. I want to make sure we begin to do this as *well* as possible, even though of course at times it is impossible to plan far in advance (like the most recent trip in October, which for a variety of reasons had to be last minute).
So, I talked to Abdo and Everton about this some while at USP, and one suggestion is that a page be created on br.wikimedia.org which has a list of suggested events for WMF to attend. This way, we could see ahead of time what sorts of important events are going on in Brazil, and try to coordinate our trips in advance in order to attend ones that could potentially be high impact. For example, Campus Party and FISL are two events which should be on this list.
Does this make sense? Dá palpite! :) :) Also, would someone be willing to create the page in Portuguese?
Obrigada e abraços :) Jessie
