Dear community, During the week we made some progress in the organization of the summit in Montevideo, Uruguay. The name of the event is eduJAM! 2011 and will take place from Thu May 5 to Sat May 7. Please see the attached file for logo and graphic identity. The summit main objective is to strengthen the free educational software developers community, with focus on Latin America and the Sugar and olpc communities. The event will feature discussions around future directions and strategy, hacking on specific projects, and exchange of experiences among different deployments. There is a Program Committee with the following members: Andrés Ambrois, Walter Bender, Gabriel Eirea, Pablo Flores, Gonzalo Odiard and Fernando Sansberro. This committee will define the summit program but of course input from the community is encouraged and appreciated. A first sketch of the event is shown in the wiki page: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Uruguay_Summit_2011 Registration to the event will be required but we are not ready to announce the details yet. In addition to eduJAM! a couple of extra activities are being planned to make the most of the summit. The "Conozco Uruguay Tour" is being organized by members of volunteer organization RAP Ceibal and the OLPC community. It will take place during the days prior to the summit (from Sat April 30 to Thu May 5). More information here: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Conozco_Uruguay_Tour We are also proposing a Sugar code sprint for Sunday May 8, right after the summit. There is a first sponsorship from Activity Central and we are looking for other sponsors both at the national and international level. We hope you can join us and are looking forward to your comments and suggestions. Best regards, The ceibalJAM! team. http://ceibaljam.org
