Our Spanish friends of the GPUL have quite a number of
interesting projects that need help -- maybe you can
join those (we've got a -devel mailing list for software

Maybe we want to develop some promotional material together
with all LUG people on this list?  Together we are much
stronger (and wiser?). At least, that was the entire idea
behind EULUG :)
