Thanks Martin and here goes some details:

http://rpmdev.proyectofedora.org is a new regional project (LATAM)
based on the idea to build a team, a latam team to package and develop
new applications (or unmaintained one, orphans, etc) cooperating in
our native language (spanish).

Since its a new project, the team is just building up from ground zero.

This thread started because we needed candidates to package and some
people in Peru started to think that im personally interested, not the
case, but, someone could be interested in the team.

http://rpmdev.proyectofedora.org/wiki/rpmfed/Lista_de_aplicaciones_candidatas_a_ser_empaquetadas
lists candidates for our members to choose.

And plis excuse me , im will not suscribe another list ;) We just need
the material or someone interested in our team to do so (ill make sure
that our team knows that there are needs in olpc)

brgds
Guillermo
