(Text in spanish is below)<br><br>I ve been reading this thread that is spread on several lists. <br><br>For those who don t know me, I actually am a teacher in uruguayan public high school and worked using 1:1 during all 2010 and probably next 2012 will work once more on the 1:1 courses.<br>

<br>Regarding- the original topic of this thread having a teacher into the oversight board is not a necessary condition for having an open place for teachers demands on the oversight board. <br>Teachers will gain space for themselves slowly and steadily in sugar and in all this general 1:1 idea.<br>
<br>I think that if I vote for Ardito (as sugar member) this will be for his own credits that seem quite right for me. Because being or not being teacher is not a guarantee for having or not an open place for educational points of view regarding the sugar labs project.<br>

<div><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br>This is the point. You are not trying to contribute to the project, because you think is a waste of time.<br>Of course, I think different. <br>
<br> </div><blockquote style="padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word;"><div><span style="font-size: 18px;"></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 18px;">As Mr. Bender expressed in one of his presentations Sugar is software under construction.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Many people don't understood what Walter said here.<br>
It's not about a half finished project, is about a project with open doors, extensible, and free.<br><br><br> </div><blockquote style="padding-left: 1ex;">
<div style="word-wrap: break-word;"><div><span style="font-size: 18px;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 18px;">You cannot ask teachers and children to start using their new computers by figuring out how to deal with this software under construction which, being so closely related to the operating system, happens to affect all uses of their laptops.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 18px;">My suggestion was and still is that after some years of trying the free software / volunteers route, with unacceptable results, get paid professional developers to swiftly work on correcting a good percentage of the problems, delivering working computers to the users. Some of those developers might well be some of the same working today as volunteers.</span></div>
