> Positive Outcomes
> ==================
> 
> * We grow a lot as a community and this year the GNOME Foundation sponsored 5 members of the group to assist to GUADEC and GUADEC-ES as listeners and speakers.
> * We covered more territory doing talks, had the possibility to go to Arica the first north city of the country and to one located at the very south like Puerto Montt this was a great achievement for us taking in consideration the huge distance we have to cover for making it
> * Most of, if not all, Open Source event in the country have the GNOME Chile representation
> 
> 
> Plans for the Future
> =====================
> 
> * We have to plan our strategies to world domination starting at "9° Encuentro de Linux, 2008", which is the biggest Open Source event in Chile
> * We are developing a program to create new hackers, there's a draft in Spanish at ftp://colbun.utalca.cl/asignaturas/estrategia/Haz_un_Hackerv002.pdf
> * We are joining forces with GNOME Hispano to bring back to live the "Libro de GNOME",
>   creating channels of cooperation to generate one big source of information to Spanish speakers.
