[Guido José Valenzano Tocaimasa <guidovalenzano@xxxxxxxxx>]

I couldn't agree more with Luciano.
I live in Paraguay, which is next to Argentina. Most people live here with a
$300 salary. As you may realize, any kind of paid software is a luxury.

And, although I also sent a mail to thank Jonathan. It wasn't as expressive
as this one. Luciano just tell the whole true about our society, OpenShot's
usability, and OpenShot's developers great effort and passion.

So, cheers OpenShot developers, and thank you all for such a great piece of
software.
