Cesar Brea, who is also on the Board of the .LRN Consortium posted an annoucement on the next OpenACS/.LRN Usergroup.

Following the recent global user group meeting in Guatemala,  o resurgence de OpenACS/.LRN will next pop up in Brazil.  Here's Eduardo Santos'  summary:

I'm happy to announce the first (or the second, if you consider this) OpenACS Brazilian users group meeting. The event will take place at the 9th International Free Software Forum (FISL 9.0) in Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil, from April 17th to 19th.

The Brazilian community is growing and we already have 607 members from many different states in country. We also have a lot of translated documentation, which is an effort to make the OpenACS framework popular among Brazilian developers...

Here are some of the OpenACS/.LRN based services they will present:
