We wanted to celebrate the Lusophony Day, as an opportunity to post about the recent launching of the Global Voices website in Portuguese. A quick googling around the keywords brought up the July 17th inspired on CPLP's foundation, but as we kept searching other dates appeared like the May 31st for UNESCO's Portuguese language day, and the November 5th as a new proposal from Brazil. As we could not find common ground in the Lusophone world about the day to celebrate its connectedness, our post about the Lusophony Day turned into a question: what is the meaning of Lusophony across the many Portuguese speaking blogospheres?
