Here in Venezuela the last week in the mailing list of Ubuntu Venezuela Team https://launchpad.net/~nejode talked about his first Ubuntu Customization to Spanish language by default without using Internet get Spanish packages.

This idea was welcome he's work was just the start and It was converted in a project https://launchpad.net/venezuelaiso

Why ? Very simple: ( Just what I thing )

1) If you can read the first screen You can test Ubuntu. For example the last week I left my Cd in the computer my wife turn on the computer She saw English next She turn off the computer She called me Jesus the computer isn't working.( My wife use Xubuntu but she doesn't know nothing about installers She cant read English to know what is that? ) Microsoft has Spanish Installer by default we need one no like a F2 option we need by default. ( I differ to other people we need all the possibilities in languages options)

2) Remember here no everybody has Internet ( Itś difficult to the new user install without Internet ) Windows doesn't need connect to Internet to start to apparently work in ours language . We need us languages packages by default. If a user can install Ubuntu we have more probability to get a new user.

Another Idea

Here the majorities of the people at home use shippers machines by the cost no HP no Dell no others ( I thing this apply for many countries ). In fact HP sales computers with free D.O.S why ? ? why not use Ubuntu . The people talk about Dell but haven't see more that 20 Dell computers in my live. Maybe we can start to talk with the computers retails to ship Ubuntu CD with the machine maybe with no default install but the people can wondering what is it ? put the Cd in their languages and say Woh . ( I think maybe can work here because the Government is migrating to Gnu/Linux)

Finally

I think in Latinoamerica we can't talk about user friendly Ubuntu yet Why ? if the people can understand English Goodbye user friendly no everybody understand English no everybody has Internet at home.

by the way excuse my English is not good enough yet.
