[IAEP] [SLOBS] Sugar Certification in Uruguay

[anacim]

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 :)
