[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 97, Issue 75

[Laura Vargas]

As Sugar is the libre software we are building/supporting for children of
all continents to learn with, it's vision should include the promotion of a
lot of exchange of cutural, cientific and functional best
practices/cases/projects among all children.

Hopefully this vision can continue progressing as you get the list moving
forward.

Please note that is not the same to talk about a Sugar Labs Local Lab than
a Sugar+XO Deployment. Historically, the braves who started a Lab did it as
a result of a Sugar+XO Intervention.

Usually, the deployments/interventions have "managers" (private or public)
that manage the day to day operations. That is different from the Local Lab
volunteers/professionals who are/could be offering
support/research/development/localization/etc.

Just to give you an idea, the table list to Rafael Ortiz en Colombia as a
reference for contact, but he was not involved with any intervention
directly. He was one of the group that gather to create the Colombian Local
Lab (Fundación Sugar Labs).

Latter on, when I joined ~2011, I asked Sandra Barragán (OLPC sales manager
at that point) for Colombian deployments information and she provided the
following link that list +20 different deployments/interventions:

Most likely Claudia Urrea, SLOB and former Director of Learning at OLPC
Association [1], already has a table with all the "managers and educators"
contacts from the deployments/interventions that can be shared at this
point with the community.

Best regards and blessing,
