Community Relationship
OLPC UK views the larger OLPC / SugarLabs community as a valuable source of advice. We aim to be a significant contributor to the community as well.
People
Our members are the most important part of our contribution to the community. We are proud of our members' work for the ongoing pedagogical, design, and software engineering volunteer efforts of OLPC and SugarLabs.
Materials
We are collecting information from around the web into a set of browsable resources for pilots in developed nations.
