[Grassroots-l] [support-gang] Change the World (FAST!)

[Sebastian Silva]

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.

Sebastian
