• Individual opinions from 'spokespeople vs Mozilla official position
• So much arguing!!!

• need more time between cities - a city every other day is too much
• can't rely on outreach from community in cities
  • more organized marketing
  • things like conflicting events and not getting word out to all communities
• in Santiago & Montevideo - lightning talks were really good
• need to set context - what is Mozilla? etc. Introductory talk
• language issues, presentations that were in Spanish was really good, use that as a criteria in the future
• Some candidates interested in Speaker Reps (some of the feedback was they didn't want to travel for training)
