I started developing activities because I liked the project and the mission. Later was invited to help start a deployment in my country, and after that was contracted by OLPC to continue developing activities and Sugar. > 2) What keeps you going in the OLPC and/or Sugar project(s)? The team is incredible. Every day I learn something, and we have new challenges. > 3) What are the challenges you face in the OLPC and/or Sugar project(s)? * Miss-communication between volunteers. * Lack of founding. * New technological landscape (tablets/android) > 4) What would you change/do differently so OLPC and/or Sugar > project(s) could do better? I think we need do a strategic analysis of our position, and improve the development of the areas needed by teachers and schools. If OLPC is not a option to distribute Sugar, we could need partner with hardware providers.
