[Solar-general] [OT] Africa Korps en OLPC?

Lun Mar 2 20:57:57 CET 2009

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.
