My point of view about OLPC

Under construction

Summer of Content 2007

I think this is a great idea and good opportunity for students and professionals who really want to get involved in the OLPC project, but this time, working on open content. I am really interested in participating on the OLPC project since the first time I read about it.In the SoC 2007, I'd like to work in the OLPC volunteers portal creating well-done portals and producing usefull and easily accesible content-information for teachers, students,experts and public in general. One of my commitments is to show the whole world how OLPC can reduce the Digital Divide and be a great way to improve child's education.
