I think it's a great opportunity!
I think that if there is interest, it would be a worthwhile effort to concentrate on getting tutorials and documentation (such as the Floss Manuals book) translated into Spanish. I'm sure the availability of good documentation will increase interest in the software's use in an academic setting.

Hi there! I apologize for using this list, found it most related to current topic.
I've got a proposal for you. Here in Colombia there is the SENA http://www.sena.edu.co/portal, a government service for training people -mostly youth and low income- in several trades by technical degrees and courses, graphic design among those. As far as I know, they've been using Corel and traditionals so I want to introduce Inkscape to them. I've found someone who can help pushing into the SENA office here in Cartagena http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariedoucet/sets/72157611795508388/. A first step would be to prepare an introduction material for this person, something she finds atractive and digestible (bear in mind she's a bureaucrat). I think it would be of great help, given that SENA targets people who can't afford licensed programs, as well as a window for Inkscape with a big chance of national coverage. Would you be interested?
God bless you
