Hi all,
as some of you might know I moved to Madrid about a month ago and will
be here at least until the end of May but possibly also until late summer.
Now I was wondering whether anyone here knows people working on
olpc/Sugar/ICT4E who are based here in Madrid or elsewhere in Spain?
I've look

In Spain the Moodle community is very strong -- peaks around
Catalunya. Vasque country is strong on alternative linux distros for
education (non-Sugar afaik). Again,
you might want to write to Diego Gomez Deck http://diegogomezdeck.blogspot.com/

In spain, most autonomous regions have their own distro, which means
that in essence getting pro-linux, and even quite techinically savy
folks in that domain should be pretty easy to find. I know Madrid
itself has its own autonomous linux distro called distro MAX (Madrid
Linux) Of course, it often

Not an OLPC project, but there is a lot of Linux in the schools in
Extremadura. You could talk to the local government about using Sugar
on their laptops.

Have you asked on the OLPC-SUR list?
There seems to have been a very modest OLPC Esp

Gustavo, David,
thanks for the information, background and links, keep 'em coming.
Given the constraints of my situation (mainly time) the main (only)
thing I'd like to do is try and establish some sort of olpc/Sugar
presence while I'm here. Especially given how much Linux is used around
schools

While working at guadalinex I seriously pushed to include sugar. Resistance
was futile as the Borg might say. You see they have a pretty established
Linux environment that has many custom educational tools. It is an
extremely uphill battle to get them using even a tiny part of sugar, and

If we take a step back I think David's observation really hits the nail
on the head in a broader sense.
While FLOSS solutions don't have the traditional vendor lock-in they do
often seem to come with some sort of platform lock-in (as per David's
example wrt custom educational tools).
Hence for ex
Here is another important point. We have a lot of Sugar and XO
documentation at FLOSS Manuals, with only a few titles in Spanish. We
are organizing a major push to get all of our materials translated.
The manual for Terminal should be out in Spanish soon, and its
translator promises another title A
