FLOSS user groups play important role in Latin America
User groups have long formed a key part of the FLOSS ecosystem. Roberto Allende discusses the important role they have played in Latin America, with the Plone and Python communities as examples.
Argentinian Plone entrepreneur and FLOSS activist Roberto Allende has published a two-part article on the role of FLOSS user groups in Latin America. He argues that these groups are at the very core of the lively FLOSS communities in that part of the world. They form part of an ecosystem together with the FLOSS projects themselves and organisations that promote the political and economic interests of FLOSS users and developers such as FLOSSInclude partner Via Libre.
The Plone business network Zea Partners has a summary of the article.
