If attendance will be mostly from neighbouring countries, I would
recommend to focus on divulging how Fedora+Sugar is being used in the
area today and the plans for the future, and to talk mostly about the
needs of these deployments.

I was surprised a few weeks ago to know about FOSS advocates from
Uruguay that didn't knew that the software used in their schools is
not proprietary. My impression is that some groups are still in
"complain mode" and will take some nudging for them to realize that
the situation has changed and the ball is in our side.
