Hi all, in October I will give a talk about how Free Software can help to export wealth and knowledge to development country in order to empower them.
For this I'm looking for some good examples. In the past there was the "One Laptop per Child" initiative. But I don't know how active they are today, didn't heard a lot about it for a long time. Then I remember a example where a small region wanted to have programs translated to their native (traditional) language but because it was a tiny market proprietary software vendors refused to provide translation so they started using GNU/Linux where they could add the translation by them self. I'm no longer sure about the region, I think it was somewhere in Spain. Does someone here remember/know it? Do you have any other examples where Free Software was used in education or economy to grow a region/country? Thanks!
