Dear Julia, Chuck, OLPC, somebody, As a member of the grassroots movement and as a volunteer, for over two years now, both programming, and on the ground, I find this decision of OLPC appalling.
OLPC-Sur list, the most active of OLPC, ran a vote, where we elected a representative, this representative yas Yamandú Ploskonka. He was elected due to his positive position, expressed in his heartfelt letter to OLPC http://www.olpcnews.com/people/leadership/a_new_day_at_olpc.html He ran with a platform you can find at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Latina%2C_Caribe_y_Espa%C3%B1a This action OLPC is taking is directly moving against the community request, and so I must protest. Actions is being taken for articulating the community further. Please respond publically.
