Six months ago, I was approached by John Tierney, who leads efforts for Sugar Labs in educational outreach about a crucial need. This need was his organization’s desire to have a group develop literacy resources housed within the Sugar Operating system. These resources would eventually be available both online and in Sugar for the 2,000,000+ plus children worldwide, primarily in developing nations, using the Sugar OS in their schools. Sugar is the operating system that runs on the XO, the low-cost, low-power laptops distributed to children in developing nations through the One Laptop Per Child Initiative (www.olpc.org). We’ll be learning much more about Sugar and OLPC through this project.
