Introduction: How to get started with a new OLPC-NL project

Instructions for educative activities:

• Don't use text (not all users will be able to read it)
• Make a simple UI with icons (see above)

Active Projects

Projects that have involvement from people in the Netherlands (and Belgium?)

Translation

Translating all software for the XO into Dutch. This is both fun to do and easy to begin with. For starting instructions, see Pootle.

• Dutch open content, what is available, who is willing to develop more? For example the 30 free courses of the Open University of the Netherlands, www.opener.ou.nl
• free educational games in the Dutch market, what is available, who is willing to develop more?
• start asap the G1G1 initiative in the Netherlands, good combination with Christmas gifts
• use the media to reach the government: what is their opinion? Are they willing to participate?
• publish in the media
• pilots in education, on several levels

International projects, looking for cooperations

Use several networks to publish about the initiative, start projects and find the right people:

• EADTU = European Association of Distance Teaching Universities www.eadtu.nl

they are the main partner of

• ICDE = International Council of Distance Education www.icde.org

the global network

Others:

• EFODL = European Federation for Open and Distance Learning www.efodl.net
