[Sugar-devel] eduJAM program preparation

[Gonzalo Odiard]

We continue in the preparation of eduJAM.
At yesterday's meeting we tried to finish the definition of the objectives:

1) To analyze the challenges of designing a learning-oriented platform and
its relationship with the fundamentals of Sugar
2) Review the status of the Sugar and plan the steps in the near future.
3) Know the main achievements and challenges faced by existing deployments
4) Encourage the development of learning communities
5) Connect the development community, build links
6) Encourage the development of activities

And we think these could be lectures / workshops interesting, *who are
interested in participating as exponents?
* *Who have another proposal,  can provide it.*
