Hi Pedro,

Welcome to the club ;-) I'd love to see another localized spin as I'm 
still missing a few hundred different languages ;-)

If you read the article 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/KickstartPool about what it is 
we're trying to do, and how we try to make it as easy as possible to 
make spins localized, maybe getting a Portuguese Spin of your liking 
only takes a couple of minutes ;-) You can submit the result to me for a 
little check-up and then I can submit it to the kickstart pool.

Let me know what you think and whether you need any help. Have fun!

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
