[Olpc-uk] OLPC (UK) Update - July 5, 2009

[Warren Pimm]

Would concur with Amir's assessment coming out of the last meeting  
with our pilot school, which was subsequent to my original message.

To provide further context, the note was within the body of a general  
update.  On the development of curriculum and applications, there have  
been numerous discussions and some efforts (however independent to  
date) to both draw together (where available) and look to develop both  
areas (i.e. Amir's attendance at a Sugar Camp in Paris), and Peter's  
recent attendance of a Redhat Fedora session.

For OLPC (UK) it would be very early days in any formalized effort to  
develop specific curriculum or applications, however there is great  
initiative to do so.

Regards,

Warren
