What I've done
I've been deeply involved in making a better web page for our Loco Team, with updated information, HOWTOs, general info, etc
I've been helping to create a bigger group of users to make the LoCo Team more involved.
Participation in "Fabrica de Fallas" An encounter of free cultures (software, art, music) where we had a Stand and we were with the LoCo team gaving out cds, installing ubuntu and solving peoples problems and doubts about ubuntu.

- Keep our presence in Free Software events and (why not?) create our own events.
