How do we spread and expand Sugar's reach? How about designing Sugar Labs to self replicate? We are getting pretty close.
How did Sugar Labs start? With a mission, a vision, some values, a wiki, a mailing list, and a handful of passionate people who shared the mission, vision and values. Sugar Labs then leveraged the Sugar code base and much of its original infrastructure from OLPC. How do you start a Local Labs? The same way:) >From a 'people' point of view, a Local Lab is a collection of people, located in a geographical area, who share Sugar Lab's mission (or a sub-set of the mission), vision, and values. >From an 'organizational' point of view, a Local Lab can take Sugar Labs team structure[1] and modify it to meet local needs. If Sugar Labs - Colombia is not interested in development, that is fine. The development team can be left as a stub and all of the effort can be shifted into the deployment team or vice versa. david 1. http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Teams _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
