Construyendo Comunidades
This page focuses on building communities to support the OLPC project. If you want to help OLPC in another manner the "Getting Involved in OLPC" and Getting_started_programming entries is a good place to start. Also check out the OLPC Foundation that focuses on stimulating grassroots organizations.
To enable the open content revolution, OLPC must not only build and distribute the XO, it must nurture and encourage three groups of people to develop content. This list is incomplete; please add. The categories are interrelated and may blend into each other; most groups will consist of people from multiple categories, and people will fall into multiple categories. This grouping is only a rough attempt at ordering.
