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

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Gustavo, David,

thanks for the information, background and links, keep 'em coming.

Given the constraints of my situation (mainly time) the main (only)
thing I'd like to do is try and establish some sort of olpc/Sugar
presence while I'm here. Especially given how much Linux is used around
schools in the country and that Latin America is the hotbed for all
things OLPC and 1-to-1 computing at the moment I'm simply surprised that
there's no established olpc/Sugar community here already.

Cheers,
Christoph
