{{TOCright}}It's a bit of a paradox that this page is in English when Spanish is its focus. A reason for this is [[Talk:OLPC Spanish America#Why in English?|here]]. |

[[Spanish]] is the biggest language (in population terms) and (probably) the most fragmented (in terms of countries) in the whole of the Americas. This means that around 400 million people are distributed in over a dozen countries, and the OLPC efforts may suffer due to this fragmentation. A more elaborate rationale to band together all of the Spanish Americas together can be [[OLPC Spanish America#Why Spanish America|found here]]. |
|||
<div style="float:left; width:49%; margin-right:3px; "> |
|||
The development of the OLPC and its content in [[Spanish]] need not follow that route. Instead of having to keep track of each of the [[countries]] independently, we can work together. |
|||
You can see the [[OLPC Status by Country|status by country]] and the specific section for [[OLPC Status by Country#Americas|the Americas]]. Pages for the (currently) green/pilot status countries are: [[OLPC Argentina]] and [[OLPC Uruguay]]. Other countries with pages in this wiki are [[OLPC Chile]] and [[OLPC Colombia]] - in orange/expressed interest. |
|||
==Como involucrarse / Getting involved== |
|||
Esta seccion es en castellano con el objetivo de brindar una puerta de entrada a la comunidad hispanoparlante de poder participar en su idioma nativo ya sea agregando secciones, links, etc. Cualquier duda o comentario es bienvenido, preferentemente en la [[Talk:OLPC Spanish America|pagina de discusion]]. |
|||
===Sugar=== |
|||
Sugar es la interface que usa la laptop. No se parece en nada a una GUI tradicional y por ello recomendamos leer sus [[OLPC Human Interface Guidelines|lineamientos]] (en ingles) para no sorprenderse demasiado. Un punto de partida tambien es la [[:Category:Sugar]] (en ingles). |
|||
====Emulando / Instalando Sugar en su PC==== |
|||
La forma mas rapida de sentirse un chico nuevamente, es probando Sugar. Para ello se puede usar [[QEMU]] para emular a la laptop en una PC comun (Windows, *nix, Mac). Tambien se puede mirar [[OS images for emulation|sobre emulacion]] (en ingles), la [[:Category:Emulation]], [[Sugar Instructions]] (en ingles) y la [[:Category:Installing Sugar]]. |
|||
====Sistema Operativo==== |
|||
Si bien el sistema operativo 'de base' es Fedora de Red Hat, eso no ha impedido que la gente de [https://www.ututo.org/ Ututo] y [http://www.tuquito.org.ar/ Tuquito] quieran cambiarlo por otro. |
|||
===Listas de correos=== |
|||
Existen varias [http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo listas de correos] oficiales y 'globales'. Y tambien figuran algunas en las paginas de los paises (ej:[[OLPC Argentina#Listas de Correo|Argentina]]). |
|||
===Colaborando en el wiki=== |
|||
Obvio, este wiki esta abierto a la comunidad y cualquiera puede colaborar con el. No sean timidos y animense!! |
|||
==Localization into Spanish== |
|||
===Hardware=== |
|||
[[Image:Keyboard argentina.jpg|thumb|right|OLPC Argentina Keyboard]] |
|||
There are probably three main issues relative to hardware: keyboard, icons and power. Currently the [[OLPC Argentina Keyboard|Argentine keyboard]] should probably not be modified, except for localizing the keys with English wording. Icons on the shell/case are probably going to be 'global', but should not be overlooked for their fitness. Power—though not crucial—could be an issue depending on the bricks tolerance to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_mains_power_plugs%2C_voltages_and_frequencies voltage, frequencies and plugs] (ie: in La Paz, Bolivia, you have both 110 & 220 V usually with the same plug as the US!). This is probably being taken care of, but again, it should not be overlooked. |
|||
===Software=== |
|||
Please help us put the links into the 'global' efforts of localization in this section. |
|||
*In Argentina there are efforts in this sense with [https://www.ututo.org/freewiki/index.php/Portada Wiki de Ututo] |
|||
====Operating System / Sugar==== |
|||
As far as I know, Linux localizations for Spanish would probably be adequate enough, although care should be taken to focus on the [[# OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/Design Fundamentals/Know Your Audience|target audience]] (kids, not techies) without knowledge either of english or computers. This means extra care in developing and/or tuning manuals, documentation and how-to's. |
|||
Active 'global' sections are [[System Software]] and [[Software localization]]. |
|||
[[Sugar]] is the core [[OLPC Human Interface Guidelines|HCI of the OLPC]]. Not having the real doesn't mean we can't [[:Category:Emulation|emulate it]] and [[OS images for emulation|give it a try!]] |
|||
There are some [[Sugar Activity Tutorial|tutorial]]/[[Presence_Service_DBus_API|Hacks]] on how to build your own activities. |
|||
=====Local developments===== |
|||
The default underlying Linux distribution for the OLPC is Red Hat's Fedora—but that not need to be the case as there are several distributions capable of supporting [[Sugar]] like [[Sugar#Download|Ubuntu, Gentoo & Mandriva]]. There are two more distributions that have also been working on in it at the local scene: [[Tuquito]] and [[Ututo]]. |
|||
====Applications / Activities==== |
|||
This area will be somewhat redundant to [[OLPC software task list]], [[Software localization]], [[Basic OLPC Software Set]] |
|||
Teachers should not be forgotten! They´ll be a major player—either as promoters or detractors—and their needs should be properly addressed, not just in the obvious sense of capacity building and training, but also in the domain of tools that they lack (ie: taking attendance, keeping grades, etc.) |
|||
==== Content in Spanish ==== |
|||
Development of local content should probably start by analyzing and doing an inventory of what is available in each country taking into consideration the source (official vs. grassroot/private), their media (printed vs digital) and the possibility of actual distribution (both in scale and license) together with the OLPC. |
|||
Besides the 'local' efforts, note should be taken of 'global' efforts in spanish (ie: Wikipedia / [[OEPC]]) and similar. |
|||
===== Websites ===== |
|||
The intention here is to capture a list of possible software sources that could feed the OLPC with some content. License issues, open-source and OLPC compatibility—important as they are—are not being considered (yet). As the list grows, specific consideration may kick in regarding those and many other aspects—but we should start with something: this list is the placeholder for the real thing! Feel free to add, edit and remove things—as long as it's objective. |
|||
NOTE: The source for this ad-hoc list was [http://www.google.com.ar/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=es&q=software+educativo&meta=&btnG=B%C3%BAsqueda+en+Google Google (in Spanish)] - trying to be neutral. Quality of the sites is not guaranteed, and hopefully knowledgeable people will evaluate them and add criteria to be used. |

===== Other Sources ===== |

There's some level of redundancy with [[OLPC Courseware Review]], and we can feed from whatever is done there, but keep in mind that our focus is towards content in Spanish. |
|||
There is a need for development of activities for Sugar in OLPC, this generation is needed to apropiate technology and generate education contents. |

The Americas have three major cultural & linguistic clusters - legacy of the colonial period: English, Portuguese and Spanish. Of these three, only the Spanish was fragmented into independent countries; while the English and Portuguese maintained their's: Brazil & USA. Other European nations also colonized the New Continent, but with the exception of France (particularly in Canada) their legacies, although present, are rather small - at least in terms of population. |

Not leveraging on this fact fragments the OLPC efforts when dealing in the Americas. Agreements with the [http://content.undp.org/go/newsroom/january-2006/100-dollar-laptop-20060128.en?categoryID=349422 UNDP] and [http://www.iadb.org/NEWS/articledetail.cfm?language=English&ARTID=3407 IADB] are important - and give a supra-national structure with which the OLPC can work with - particularly financing and operational levels. |

At the content level, this 'theoretically homogeneous' population (~400 million people) is an opportunity that shouldn't be overlooked. Hard sciences (physics, biology, mathematics, etc.) can be made available (both translated and locally produced) with a relative cost far lower than other localization efforts. Language studies is another major 'homogeneous' area of development. The concept of 'homogeneity' is always relative, but much in the same way that dubbing into Spanish can be done using 'neutral spanish', content can be developed like-wise. |

A major localization 'obstacle' will be History and other social studies. Each country promotes 'their side of the story'—usually in conflict with their neighbor's—and involving a heavily edited version of their own history—usually in detriment of their pre-colonial cultural heritage. |
