Felix Delattre was one of the main organizers of the first Drupal Summit Latino 2011 in Peru (Info).
Felix created the first Spanish-language Drupal 7 learning page for the community.
The contents were based on material elaborated for two intensive Drupal 7 workshops and trainings: one for the Universidad Nacional in Heredia, Costa Rica, sponsored by a United Nations Development Programme-financed project in Costa Rica "TICs Capacity Building through the Use of Free Software to Promote and Strengthen Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMEs)", and the other at ISIC (Instituto de Informática y Comercio) in Managua, Nicaragua.
The tutorials aimed to be a good starting point with Drupal in Spanish. On the website there were texts, videos and some slides from the trainings. The website was open for everybody to register and make changes and improvements to all texts - editable like a wiki. And content was released under a Creative Commons BY-SA licence.
