Hi, I hadn t read your emails when I wrote to olpc-uruguay olpc-sur, about considering the chance of asking sugarlabs.org to give some kind of real certificate on sugar, as a way of 1) encouraging the study of sugar activities 2) encouraging the translations of teacher's tutorials into spanish http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-uruguay/2010-December/004419.html
I agree with Bernie Innocenti 's proposal of politely mention the inappropriate use of sugar name. I think the polite request could be done. If you haven t read any of my emails I must say ( unfortunatelly) that regarding the management of the local implementation of olpc (ceibal) where I happen to work as a highschool math teacher I am never polite :( But among sugar local members you ll find the one that can use the right words. Good luck on this :) On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 7:02 PM, Yamandu Ploskonka <[email protected]>wrote: > Bernie, SLOBs, > > another issue on the table someone else mentioned is about Sugar / Sugar > Labs proactively develop some such a program for encouraging Sugar-ed > doings.
