Re: Contact with community

Hello Christopher,

Just a reminder that we do have a group called GNOME Hispano, that is
meant to serve as common place for a community of Spanish speakers and
help with this English-Spanish language barrier in any country, we
have a mailing list and a Telegram group. The group is currently quite
Spain-centric, but we would love to expand our reach again as we did
in the past. Feel free to reach out to us through our mailing list:
