Summary
This page is an overview of a pilot program that will happen in 2012 in Puno region of Peru. This effort is being led by Peru Local Lab. The detailed information (in Spanish) will be shared on the Peru Local Lab home page. This page also contains technical details of implementation that might be helpful for other deployments.
Layers
The whole picture is split into three layers: Schools, Deployment team, Upstream. The current section briefly characterize all of them.
Schools
The are two types of schools:
- schools, one-teacher schools in villages:
- laptop per child model;
- about 10 students of different ages;
- no technical personnel, only teachers with basic computers skills;
- mostly no connectivity;
- only XO laptops, no wireless access points, no dedicated hardware for school servers.
- town schools:
- computer labs, not laptop per child, model;
- skilled technical personnel;
- good connectivity;
- good hardware equipment.
Deployment team
Peru Local Lab members.
TODO
Upstream
The rest of Sugar community.

Lab teachers
Network coordinators
- Merge data
- Moderate date
- Connect downstream needs and upstream implementation
- TODO more specific

Major components are:
They are spread within the Roles as:
