Hey Gustavo,

A Local Lab in Argentina is great!

We have found that Local Labs are incredibly helpful to the community
at large.  Usually, I try to help labs get set up. But now, I would
like to stay out of the picture.  There are some really great Local
Labs that are doing amazing this.

The true value of a Local Lab is building on top of Sugar to solve
your _local_ needs.  So, would you mind working with Rafael and other
existing local labs to set up SLA.  The big thing is that you do what
is best for Argentina.

Most of the stuff we have in the wiki about local lab is based on
conversations I have had with Jono Bacon.  This means that the
policies and procedures are based on _my_ interruption of how to apply
best practices from Ubuntu Locos to Sugar Labs.  While that was enough
to get started,  now that there are a couple of healthy labs around
the world it is best that the local labs to work together and share
internal best practices with each other.  After about 5 more local
labs are in place, I would like to help start compiling a list of best
practices on wiki.sl.o.
