My name is Aleksey Lim, I'm a software developer who started professional career in 1999. Starting from 2008, I'm a Sugar Labs contributor and volunteer. Within the Sugar Labs, I'm developing a couple of software projects, maintaining several Sugar Activities (applications for Sugar learning environment), support several public services on Sugar Labs servers.

I'm going to introduce a project I'm, as a part of a team, is working on. The project is named Sugar Network. This project was initially started by the Peru Sugar Local Lab to address the needs identified during work on Puno pilot program. Such as, lack of connectivity in one teacher schools in rural regions of Puno, the difficulty to provide technical and educational support for these schools, the lack of different types of the content and hardness to provide social activity around this content.

* lack of connectivity in one teacher schools in rural regions of Puno,

* the difficulty to provide technical and educational support for these schools,

* the lack of different types of the content and hardness to provide social activity around this content.

The team consists of Peru Sugar Local Lab members, volunteers from Puno, and global Sugar community. With help from broad Peruvian community (translating Sugar learning environment interface into Aymara and Quechua languages) and supporting by Puno municipality, this project is intended to solve the following problems.

This pilot program should be only the beginning to proof the concept. The real success of the Sugar Network depends on connecting many schools not only in Puno region with the rest of international community using Sugar Network server accessible via the Internet when people can visit the Web site to participate in populating the Sugar Network content and collaborate with students and teachers from schools.
