Hi Guido,
Thank you for these nice updates and for linking to our community +=20
team's blog often.

Just a minor correction. The article regarding the 20.000 users in Peru=20
refers to "Sugar Network" users. Sugar Network is a "community effort=20
to provide a decentralized asynchronous socio-educative network for=20
peer support and sharing of free educational resources". In Per=C3=BA,=20
about 90% users (schoolchildren) don't have access to the Internet,=20
that's why we elaborated a sneakernet-ready solution. In all, there are=20
about 1MM users in Per=C3=BA alone, and 2MM in South America, 3MM around=20
the world, virtually all of them tied to the OLPC but hopefully we'll=20
move beyond those machines soon.

Here's a link to the software project at Sugar Labs (technical):
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network

And here's a link to the "product" implementation in Per=C3=BA ( "Red=20
Az=C3=BAcar"):
http://pe.sugarlabs.org/ir/Red%20Az%C3%BAcar

You do a great service to the community by collecting these links,=20
thanks for doing it, and taking into consideration the rest of the=20
world (it's one free world, after all.).

Regards,
Sebastian
