Stretching for 1.6 miles and straddling the border with Argentina, the falls comprise hundreds of cascades, including the 262ft tall Devil’s Throat. Drenching rides on rubber boats are a popular way to take in the thundering spectacle.

Latinoware hosting FUDCon LATAM

Silvio Palmieri, a Brazilian Fedora volunteer and member of Latinoware organization committee is proposing to host FUDcCon LATAM at Latinoware 2017.

Benefits for Fedora

Having FUDCon LATAM hosted by Latinoware will make the project leverage the infrastructure and the attendance. It will help the project to achieve better results since Latinoware has more than 4 thousand attendees, most of them students from Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.

Budget Planning

The expected attendance for Latinoware 2017 is 4500 participants and we are considering to have over 2000 visitors at FUDCon booth, plus people attending to Fedora talks.

We will have two dedicated room for talks, plus a FUDCon area with some booths to receive the people and advertise Fedora.

Since we don't have to spend money on the event organization, we can focus on bringing MORE Fedora volunteers from different countries. This way, we can have a great FUDCon experience by sharing knowledge and culture with folks from different parts of LATAM.

The FUDCon's held in Peru got a good amount of people, but most of the others FUDCon in LATAM failed to bring people to the event.

We placed this bid to solve the problem of audience and bring the best results possible to the Project.
