Hi, I hadn t read your emails when I wrote to olpc-uruguay olpc-sur, about considering the chance of asking <a href="http://sugarlabs.org">sugarlabs.org</a> 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 <a href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-uruguay/2010-December/004419.html">http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-uruguay/2010-December/004419.html</a> 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 :) <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 7:02 PM, Yamandu Ploskonka <<a href="mailto:yamaplos@gmail.com">yamaplos@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Bernie, SLOBs, another issue on the table someone else mentioned is about Sugar / Sugar Labs proactively develop some such a program for encouraging Sugar-ed doings. Probably y'all know how important is any sort of paper or "official" (letterhead, signatures, seals, the more the better) recognition over there. I know that is not the way of the FLOSS, but since we have to live this split reality, we might as well do it. I'm not in the SLOB list so maybe someone reroute if you think this makes sense. on a lighter note: Even the Cub Scouts in the US now have some sort of badge for computer/gaming stuff...<div class="im"> <img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=40622d14bb&view=att&th=12cf62404fced6f5&attid=0.0.1.1&disp=emb&zw" alt=""> On 12/17/2010 02:40 PM, Bernie Innocenti wrote: <blockquote type="cite"> <pre>On Thu, 2010-12-16 at 20:45 -0500, Sebastian Silva wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre>Hi, Do we know anything about this? If we don't this is probably clearly a trademark violation. Not saying its a bad idea, but sugar labs should lead any sugar certification that is offered and called that way. In fact we should encourage this kind of appropriation but in a way that gives back to the project. For instance, if they have developed guidelines, materials, etc, they can be a reference for similar programs in other countries that other Local Labs could offer, adding to our Services Portfolio. </pre> </blockquote> <pre>I would suggest getting in contact with them and ask *politely* for more details about this certification program. Then, depending on their answer, we could ask them *politely* to change the program name or offer them a license to use the Sugar Labs marks. Since you speak Spanish, you are *polite* and you're a slob (no offense implied :-), you could contact them as an official representative of Sugar Labs. Did I mention that we should be *polite*? :-) </pre> </blockquote> </div></div> _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) <a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </blockquote></div>
