Revision as of 03:47, 5 March 2011
This page is for planning the summit to be taken in Uruguay on May 5th to 7th 2011. All subject to modifications.
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.
