Thanks, Marta. On your joke about Latin LPI, I believe we can gather 
about one fourth of the world for it :)

All right, I worked for Caldera and I am Master OpenLearning Instructor 
for Brazil. Also, we were in contact with Conectiva and there is a guy 
there that is responsible for LPI inside Conectiva, the same as I was 
for Caldera once. Now, I am still Master OLI and I do want to continue 
with my effort for LPI. AFAIK we do not have SuSE in Brazil, IBM and HP 
have representatives. I will only wait for the draft from Marta to begin 
working on a b-plan for Brazil with Caldera and Conectiva, and try to 
involve IBM and HP, if possible.
