Making OLPC models of communities and development more decentralized, OLPC has to encourage communities of free software developers around the world, has to listen to teachers and students inquires and has to give them ways of making them happen.

The distribution has to be in all the layers, technological, content, and pedagogical.
Communication between this layers has to be improved, developer meetings like the XOcamp must be also done in major deployment sites.


Tech distribution

Content distribution

  • Wikipedia slices are good but we have to find software to make easy to digitalize already existing content, for example oral traditions of tribes, papers, books.etc.
  • Make an special collection of e-books to use on the XO and Sugar, and made with these forgotten ,materials of countries.

Pedagogical distribution

Community distribution

  • IRC and pesonal (i.e not by internet ;)) meetings. in the states and in mayor deployment sites, reunions between devs and teachers or educational authorities recommended.
