Information written during the organization of the summit
This page is for planning the EduJAM! summit in Uruguay May 5th to 7th 2011.
Don't forget the pre-summit tour Apr 30 - May 5, as well as post-summit codesprint May 8/9 onwards -- dates are final but details are evolving!
Main goals
- Focus on developers. It does not mean at all we're not concerned about educational aspects, but as a developers community we have huge challenges and the summit will be more of a working instance than a "reflection" instance.
- Exceed OLPC and Sugar. The developers community goes beyond OLPC and Sugar, and this could be a good instance for bringing "non-olpc organizations" to the conversation.
- Focus on South America. Bring as many south american developers as possible to Uruguay.
Program
A first sketch of the event (preliminary, see also update here!) is as follows: Program committee:
- Andrés Ambrois
- Walter Bender
- Gabriel Eirea
- Pablo Flores

Pre-Summit "Conozco Uruguay" Exploration Tour
We're organizing a set of in-person activities for those who want to know more about the Uruguayan/Ceibal experience, visiting different points of the country, meeting with families, teachers, etc.
This will happen during the 5-6 days prior to the summit (from Saturday April 30th to Thursday May 5th) for independent and resilient travelers, committed to "anthropological" learning through patient exploration -- details are emerging here!

Accommodation
