<p>CanotRchic: </p> <hr /> <div>http://www.textmonbocbasr.com <br /> [http://www.earthtreasury.org/ Earth Treasury] (currently redirects back here) has no corporate connection with OLPC, the maker of the $100 Laptop, or with Sugar Labs. Sugar Labs just lets us use their Wiki.--[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] 18:28, 18 June 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> As of early 2007, Earth Treasury has a [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/earthtreasury/ mailing list] and yahoo group. <br /> <br /> ==Vision==<br /> <br /> The end of poverty through communication and sustainable commerce<br /> <br /> ==Mission==<br /> <br /> Fill in gaps in the OLPC mission, including <br /> * Electricity for even the poorest and most remote villages<br /> * Broadband Internet<br /> * Microfinance<br /> * [[Creating textbooks]]<br /> * Free computers running Sugar, two per child, where OLPC XOs are not available (One at school, one at home)<br /> * Link [[User:Mokurai/Linking_Schools|schools]] around the world<br /> * Teaching children to do [[User:Mokurai/International_business|business]] together.<br /> * Teaching the genuine [[User:Mokurai/Economics_of_XO|free market]], not the nonsense in which corporations get to go freely into any country, but people don't<br /> * [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Demonstrations Demonstrating] the XO to anybody who should get involved with OLPC and Sugar Labs<br /> * Going viral<br /> * Telling everyone how they can participate.

This includes some parts of [[User:Mokurai/Rethinking Textbooks|rethinking textbooks]], and possibly [[User:Mokurai/Curriculum Development|curriculum development]]. Other issues are out of scope, and are being left to governments and to other organizations to address. <br /> <br /> Earth Treasury has decided to tackle all of the remaining issues, either in its own programs, starting with connecting schools and teaching business, or by partnering with others.<br /> <br /> * [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Battery_and_power Electricity] for schools in remote villages<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Internet access|Internet access]] for schools in remote villages<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Communication between schools|Communication between schools]] and with the wider world<br /> * A [[User:Mokurai/Business curriculum|Business curriculum]]<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Village governance|Mokurai/Village governance]]<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Economics of XO|Economic development]] in general, including [[User:Mokurai/Microfinance|microfinance]] and job creation for students and graduates<br /> <br /> There are also issues nominally in scope that OLPC management has neglected. This includes<br /> <br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Teacher training|Teacher training]]<br /> * Organizing [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Localization Localization] projects in a timely manner whenever a country or language group becomes a likely target for deployment<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Evaluation|Evaluation]] of laptop education programs, and comparisons between different laptops and software (&quot;bake-offs&quot;)<br /> * Publishing [[User:Mokurai/Research|research]] results<br /> <br /> Further thoughts on these and other topics will appear in Earth Treasury pages in my namespace on this Wiki.<br /> <br /> ==Wiki==<br /> <br /> Please put the following category link on any page that is specific to Earth Treasury. <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Earth Treasury]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> Please put Earth Treasury pages in the Mokurai [[Help:Namespace|namespace]].<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> <br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Linking_Schools|Linking Schools]]<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/International_business|International business]]<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Cultural_preservation|Cultural preservation]]<br /> * [[User:Mokurai/Moviemaking|Moviemaking]]<br /> * [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Community_Building Community Building]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Earth Treasury]]</div>
