Thanks Rafael, I think this is a good idea. There was also the suggestion of
doing a blog post about a new mailing list in spanish in [0]. We could actually
do both things together. After Vasilis mail on this same mailing list one or
two weeks ago I contacted the people of Flisol Santiago to see when and where
it would happen this year. Due to time constraints I am not sure I could
prepare something for this year's Flisol but sure I can try. Anyway, I like
the idea.
