[Sugar-devel] Haiti dormant (was Re: Sugar as desktop os)
2009/7/10 Philippe Clérié phili...@gcal.net: We're located in Haiti. Excellent. I had a hand in getting Kreyol localization started. Sorry I left that off. And before anyone asks :-) we're not part of the pilot that was scheduled to begin in Haiti last year. I briefly worked with them. As far as I can tell, after the last cabinet shuffle, the project has gone dormant. Officially, I don't know why. Unofficially, the new Minister of Education does not like anything started by the previous one. Or so it seems. Did the laptops get distributed first? If not, where are they? -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.

Did the laptops get distributed first? If not, where are they? No the laptops were not distributed as far as I know. As to where they are, the information is not public so I don't know. Excellent. I had a hand in getting Kreyol localization started. It's such a small world. :-) I got involved too at the beginning but the effort seemed to have fizzled very quickly, based on zero activity on the mailing list. Perhaps the effort went elsewhere and I did not notice. -- Philippe -- The trouble with common sense is that it is so uncommon.

Hi Philippe, Philippe Clérié phili...@gcal.net writes: Did the laptops get distributed first? If not, where are they? No the laptops were not distributed as far as I know. As to where they are, the information is not public so I don't know. There is no information on the olpchaiti.org website due to lack of webmaster. But as I said, I think there are a few schools already equiped with the laptops. At least one: http://olpc-france.org/blog/2009/06/olpc-haiti-deploiement-dans-une-nouvelle-ecole/ Excellent. I had a hand in getting Kreyol localization started. It's such a small world. :-) Indeed. I got involved too at the beginning but the effort seemed to have fizzled very quickly, based on zero activity on the mailing list. Perhaps the effort went elsewhere and I did not notice. The effort went IRL during the last summer. The haitian team worked hard getting the translation done, and there were very few messages on the mailing list because things were mainly done face to face. Someone was in charge of letting the mailing list notice about the progress but obviously it was not me. (Part of my work in Haiti was to help them be more autonomous about such tasks.)
