No, I was really just asking, not suggesting it would be something
worth doing. Just stumbled upon the gnome.cl page and asked here.

We should differentiate between the foundation and the FOSS project.
The foundation has some moneys and the mission to protect and
stimulate the project activities, but the work is done by the
community.

About the GNOME Foundation, Walter is in the advisory board. About the
community, just because we use components in GNOME we are already part
of it, but also Sugar developers regularly contribute to GNOME. We are
going to meet with some developers next week in Bolzano to discuss
cooperation.

Regards,

Tomeu
