Re: [IAEP] Any olpc/Sugar/ICT4E people in Spain?

2011-03-24 Thread Edward Cherlin
Here is another important point. We have a lot of Sugar and XO
documentation at FLOSS Manuals, with only a few titles in Spanish. We
are organizing a major push to get all of our materials translated.
The manual for Terminal should be out in Spanish soon, and its
translator promises another title ASAP. FM's new booki software has
just gone live, with a new set of translation tools coming on line
quite soon.

Some of our titles would be of interest in Spanish-speaking countries
even apart from Sugar, such as Introduction to the Command Line.

Having materials in Spanish should help in the argument. Of course,
there is a lot of other material, such as Plan CEIBAL's publications.

 Not yet, that's an excellent suggestion! :-)

 There seems to have been a very modest OLPC España effort, but its

 Thanks,

 Now I was wondering whether anyone here knows people working on

 I've looked around quite a bit but unfortunately didn't find anything
 related to olpc/Sugar/ICT4E so far, plus similarly minded communities
 (e.g. LUGs, hacker spaces, etc.) also seem to be quite rare around here.

 Anyway, I'd appreciate any pointers, suggestions or contacts in this area.

was futile as the Borg might say. You see they have a pretty established
Linux environment that has many custom educational tools.  It is an

Re: [IAEP] Any olpc/Sugar/ICT4E people in Spain?

2011-03-22 Thread Christoph Derndorfer
If we take a step back I think David's observation really hits the nail
on the head in a broader sense.

While FLOSS solutions don't have the traditional vendor lock-in they do
often seem to come with some sort of platform lock-in (as per David's
example wrt custom educational tools).

Hence for example in the Sugar context I think that the efforts by
Walter and others to get a foot in the door of Argentina's Conectar
Igualdad program early on is vitally important. Two, three years down
the road it would probably take significantly more momentum to get Sugar
accepted in an already established environment.

As we'll probably see several initiatives similar to Conectar Igualdad
in the coming years and it makes sense to reach out to them early on.

Cheers,
Christoph

In spain, most autonomous regions have their own distro, which means
that in essence getting pro-linux, and even quite techinically savy
folks in that domain should be pretty easy to find. I know Madrid
itself has its own autonomous linux distro called distro MAX (Madrid
Linux) Of course, it often becomes a marketing competition rather than
something else, but it does mean a high usage of linux across the
public board. Trying to get them to include new things though, is
sometimes very very hard (example: sugar)

Well, in a country in which several hundred thousands of computers in
schools use FOSS, maybe your observation is not very accurate. MAX is
the name of the GNU Linux distro used in Madrid, you may start trying
to contact them, there's a very active group (I live some 600km from
Madrid, in Andalusia).

Maybe these pointers could help you:

In Spain the Moodle community is very strong -- peaks around

track.

Maybe post in moodle.org's Spanish forum?

 Hi all,

 as some of you might know I moved to Madrid about a month ago and will
 be here at least until the end of May but possibly also until late summer.

 Now I was wondering whether anyone here knows people working on
 olpc/Sugar/ICT4E who are based here in Madrid or elsewhere in Spain?

 I've looked around quite a bit but unfortunately didn't find anything
 related to olpc/Sugar/ICT4E so far, plus similarly minded communities
 (e.g. LUGs, hacker spaces, etc.) also seem to be quite rare around here.

 Anyway, I'd appreciate any pointers, suggestions or contacts in this area.

 Thanks,
 Christoph
