Re: [Sugar-devel] [Help] Connect two french students with OLPC deployments in various countries?
Dear all, we didn't receive any answer to this question: "how to get in touch with schools or places in south america where XO are still in used?" This would be very helpful to have, if not direct contacts, at least some ideas on how to find them. Thanks again!

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Help] Connect two french students with OLPC deployments in various countries?
Bastien, Thanks for reaching out. Do you know which specific version of XO laptops these students were/will be given? Is the e-mail address you CC'ed when you e-mailed sugar-devel the address of one of the students you mention? Joining and e-mailing i...@lists.sugarlabs.org may yield more useful information, since that is our general purpose list, and sugar-devel is (supposed to be) focused on actual development :) Bastien wrote on 5/21/19 9:26 AM: Hi Sugar, OLPC France has been in touch with two students who will organize IT workshops for children in various countries in Asia (India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand) and South America (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru). OLPC France will give them two XO laptops. What is the best way to let them know people who are still active on OLPC deployments in these countries? I CC them -- don't forget to keep them in the loop or to send them OLPC contacts thay you may have in these countries. Below is their message. Thanks a lot in advance for your help. We are two students in IT school in France with the following project: In one year, we will go to Asia (India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand) and South America (Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru) to meet local children and student to share our IT knowledge. Following our studies, we are convinced of the opportunities, but also the dangers of IT for anyone. That’s why we want to awaken people to IT. But instead of creating a global workshop, we want to respond to a real need in local countries. To achieve that, we want to create our workshops based on OLPC initiative. OLPC France will lend us 2 XO computers. But to make our initiative more relevant, we want to respond to a real need in each country. For that reason, we want to exchange and discuss with experienced people to obtain a better understanding of the situation to build relevant workshops. Based on your experience , do you know some person with this kind of experience or knowledge? Your help will be very appreciated in any subject (kind of population in need, contact of local IT school, problems about IT, IT domain in need of qualified people, etc…) Thank you in advance ! ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
