Beyond homeschooling our children and mentoring some others, we've never
been in charge of what people in the OLPC/Sugar Labs community call a
(laptop) "deployment".

Expected result is that they learn to learn to be happy :-)

On a broader picture, we hope children will be empowered and liberated
by technology, not enslaved by it. We hope they will use these commons
for the good of their own communities. We also hope they will use it to
enable meaningful cultural exchange and empathy accross cultures.

In an intervention, it's good to keep these primary goals in mind as
some of them are hard to measure.

Talking about terminology, I love the word Workshop. In spanish it does
not carry the "training session" meaning as much as a place filled with
tools to work with (such as an artisan shop).
