Subject: Re: Invitation to Mexican National Free Software Conference
    (feb2003)

Gracias por su invitacíon.  No se para que es posible atendar, pero
quiero ir si es posible.

I will be in Mérida in Yucatan from Feb 10-20 for a drug policy
conference, so the timing of your conference is just about perfect.  I
have never been to either Mérida or Mexico City, so it will be a new
experience for me.  As you can see, my Spanish was learned in high
school twenty years ago, only used for a few weeks at a time on visits
to Baja or Mazatlan, and in restaurants, so I will need to practice.
But I am interested in doing so.  Spanish is my only language besides
English, and I don't want to fall into being a one-language person.

I will check with my sweetheart to see whether we can schedule to come
to your conference.  I would like to, if I can, and if I go, she (Ann
Harrison) will probably want to come too.  She's a journalist who
wrote one of the first press articles about Linux (for Software
Magazine).

I've been wanting to increase my involvement with the Latin American
community (which in any case is coming to dominate my home state of
California), and your conference provides me an excellent possibility.
