Currently working on [http://www.sugarcamp.somosazucar.org Sugar Camp Lima 2011].
Starting the century [2000] I graduated as an industrial engineer from the Colombian School of Engineering, the same year I began to specialize in international business, banking and finance at the University of Rosario.
In 2005 moved to California to study film production [thanks to the Ministry of Culture and the Fulbright Commission Colombia] leading on my return the local production team of the film "Love in the Time of Cholera".
In Bogotá I became part of a select team, designing user experience for multiple commercial and educational web projects, until Free Software crossed my path in 2009 and first came the idea of getting involved with the group which was also dedicated software design aimed at children of primary school.
I was accepted as a research associate at Escuelab and from there and hand to hand with Sebastian Silva, we incubated the research project somosazucar.org / sugarlab Peru with the aim of encouraging the use and development of free software SUGAR.
My vision and reason for filing this application, is to align the system's efforts towards creating a secure, open and free Sugar Users Network where end users can interact with designers and developers.
To achieve this goal I propose first to strengthen the network of local laboratories, procuring their sustainability and the sharing of their experiences and results.
Hugs to all,
Laura Vargas. Citizen.
