Hi Paul! The idea would be to bring together Brazilians who know and work with Strapi (or want to know and work with it) and unite people to exchange knowledge through an official Strapi community in Brazil. This would be really cool and important for several reasons. One of these reasons is the fact that most Brazilians (like myself) don’t speak English very well. This would help the Brazilian technology community to learn more about Strapi, and develop in general.
It would be very important to have authorization from the Strapi team because this way we could establish trustworthy communication and establish a two-way street, where we could exchange knowledge about Strapi directly with those who understand, thus centralizing many of the doubts of an entire continental country, such as Brazil. A practical example: It would be much better for a representative of the Brazilian community of Strapi to take doubts and other questions to you at Strapi, rather than hundreds and hundreds of Brazilians, spraying questions around. Furthermore, community learning can prevent problems and doubts from reaching you, through the dynamics of knowledge exchange, ensuring that community problems are also resolved in the community.
I have been a user of the open source version of Strapi for years. And I’m grateful to you for providing me with that option. This makes us stronger as an industry. And by establishing an official Brazilian community, there will most likely be people wanting to contribute commits to the Strapi repository.
