Hi... Hola...
I agree! ¡Estoy de aquerdo!   Someone like Rosamel Ramirez would be perfect. Alguín como Rosamel Ramirez sea perfecto. She has a great blog about all the things she and other teachers are doing. Ella tiene un gran blog sobre las cosas que ella y los otros maestros estan haciendo. ( http://blogedu-rosamel.blogspot.com/ ). I don't think she speaks English, but I would be happy to join her as a "team" and translate (and occasionally contribute) if this could work. No pienso que ella habla inglés, pero yo sería feliz para traducir (y a veces contribuir) si este podria funcionar.

    Me parece que produje ruido en una forma no deseada. Lo que puse de
    la precondición es algo que ASUMO(y creo que es algo que aunque no
    sea explícito, es algo supuesto por más gente), ya que la gran
    mayoría de la comunicación relacionada(en el área más ejecutiva por
    lo menos) con olpc o sugar es hecha en inglés y de hecho es
    necesario un esfuerzo consciente y continuo para compatibilizar los
    dos idiomas.

    El trans-post a sur y uruguay, iba en el sentido de generar apoyo y
    nominaciones(se me ocurren por ejemplo Miriam Gregory, Paola
    Brucolery o Ana Cichero)

    Saludos,

    Luis

    Hi!
      

      
      I usually have nothing to contribute on technical subjects,
         about Sugar.
      

      
      I realize it is a very important field but,  I am trying to
        work somewhere else,  specifically learning Etoys.
      

      
      I have had,  however,  some experience in meetings and
        reading messages in forums.
      

      
      My conclusion is that we do have a problem and a very serious
        one, but hopefully easy to correct:
      

      
       - We do
              not hear enough from teachers!!!!
      

      
       - Teachers
        are the link between all of us and the children, relatives,
        volunteers and all other teachers we all say we want to serve.
      

      
      This is why I am quoting a message I just read in some of the
        spanish language forums,  it is in both English and Spanish:
      

      
      The red larger type was changed by me to highlight what I
        think is the most important part of the text.

          whoa! that's a good idea
            indeed! how nice would it be? A place to be really heard,
            for thousands of teachers... to lead from the ground and not
            from the ivory tower(perceived or real)... To cut the middle
            men.... FOSS Culture at it best! if
                  only english wouldn't be a precondition.

            En español(más o menos):

            Sería realmente bueno tener un maestro que esté
              en una implementación de azúcar a tiempo completo en el
              comité de supervisión o en un rol que asegure que el
              comité de supervisión está escuchando a los maestros en
              las implementaciones.

              Mi Dios, tiene sentido ésto?

              Alguien en el llano, no técnico, para proveer una
              perspectiva balanceada?

            
            Pa! Que buena idea! Qué tan bueno podría ser eso? Un lugar
            para ser escuchados realmente, para miles de docentes...
            guiar desde el llano y no desde una torre de
            marfil(percibida o real)... sacar los intermediarios... lo
            mejor de la cultura libre! Si
                  no fuera que el inglés es precondición...

      ============
      

      
      I hope you have all seen and understood the original message.
      

      
      It seems to me they are talking about electing a teacher to a
        position in some Sugar Oversight Board.
      

      
      

      
      It sounds like we do have teachers willing to participate who
        are locked out because of the language.
      

      
      Is this correct?
      

      
      If so,  how can we find a solution??
      

      
      I see only three logical solutions but none of them is easy.
      

      
      We all learn English.
      

      
      We all learn Spanish.
      

      
      We get many translators or try to domesticate some automatic
        translators.
      

      
      Translating is not fun,  except for the very important fact
        that if we try to take it seriously we learn a lot about the
        subject matter,  Etoys in my case.
      

      
      This morning I was glad to hear Mariana Herrera,  a teacher
        from Uruguay,  found three volunteers to translate some Etoys
        material.
      

      
      I wonder if being translators and either teachers or closely
        associated to teachers, her message didn't clarify that point,
         in Uruguay,  the country with the most XO computers at this
        time,  they might be able to come up with some solution.
      

      
      If we want to make any progress,  we do have to resolve this
        huge but basic problem of a common language to communicate among
        ourselves.

        PS:  Please note the original message had been sent to
          several lists to which I do not have access.  Maybe some
          readers would like to transmit our message to the members of
          those lists. Thanks.

                It  would be really good to see a teacher who is in a
                Sugar deployment full time on the oversight board or in
                a role that ensures the oversight board is hearing from
                teachers in deployments. 

                omg does that make sense?

                someone on the ground who is not technical to provide a
                balanced perspective?
