Hola Andrés,
Te comento que estaré de vacaciones hasta los primeros días de julio, estaré viajando hoy en la noche a visitar a unos familiares. Espero puedas coordinar los pendientes para el launch party, he visto cambios interesantes en la web de la comunidad.
A mi regreso te enviaré los correos de las personas que se inscribieron en el flisol, para que se le envie una invitación a la comunidad. Si es que abres el foro de drupal podriamos interactuar ahi con la comunidad.
Estamos en contacto. Salu2.
