[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH in latin america countries

[Michael S Collins]

Which languages would be on freeswitch-la? Brazilian Portugese and  
Spanish? I would love to see a place where those not fluent in English  
have an outlet for FS discussions. I'm sure bilingual users like moy  
would be happy to chat with people in Spanish.

As long as this isn't fracturing the community, but rather enlarging  
it, then I'm all for it.
