Quién será el Rommel del proyecto OLPC? El proyecto OLPC decidió enviar a Sudáfrica un escuadrón de implementadores denominado "OLPCorps Africa", quizá a los yanquis no les rememore tanto la segunda guerra, pero en nuestro idioma suena muy parecido al batallón de los nazis en Africa, no parece ser el nombre más feliz para un proyecto educativo. The One Laptop Per Child Foundation [1] is working on a grant program for Africa, called "OLPCorps Africa", first proposed by a group of students who worked on two small deployments in South Africa and Sierra Leone over the past year. A draft of the grant guidelines is available [2]. In the current draft, the program provides funds for students' stipends and education-oriented laptops. Small teams of students will be responsible for initiating deployments in Africa during May-September of 2009, and reporting the results, compensated by a US$10,000 stipend. -- Pablo Manuel Rizzo ------------------------------- http://pablorizzo.com -------------------------------
