			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I arrived in Bogota last night and today I&#8217;m off to visit a few libraries, my first stop is the <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/">Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia</a>. As Colombia&#8217;s national library, one of their main responsibilities is serving as the country&#8217;s legal deposit.</p>
<p>The collection includes monographs, journals, and a large music collection. The library&#8217;s music collection includes both written music and recordings, a number of which were recoded in the library, back when they had a complete recording studio on the top floor. You can access all the digitized music scores <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/tools/marco.php?idcategoria=24940">here</a>. They have also created a <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/tools/marco.php?idcategoria=28543">musical map of the country</a> which will guide you through the various musical genres.</p>
<p>The library has also created a <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/index.php?idcategoria=18297">digital library</a> where it is uploading and making freely available much of its collection.</p>
<p>Right now there is also a very complete exhibit about &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vortex_%28novel%29">La Voragine</a>&#8221; (The Vortex) by José Eustacio Rivera, on the first floor of the library.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bib-nac-col-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3743" title="biblioteca Nacional de Colombia" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bib-nac-col-2.jpg" alt="" width="480" height="360" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Anoche llegué a Bogotá y hoy me voy a visitar algunas bibliotecas, mi primera parada es la <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/">Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia</a>. Como biblioteca nacional una de sus principales responsabilidades es servir como depósito legal del país.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La colección incluye monografías, publicaciones periódicas, y una gran colección musical. Colección de música de la biblioteca incluye tanto partituras como grabaciones, muchas de las cuales se grabaron en la biblioteca, cuando esta tenía un estudio de grabación completo en la planta superior. Puede acceder a toda la partituras digitalizadas <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/tools/marco.php?idcategoria=24940">aquí</a>. También han creado un <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/tools/marco.php?idcategoria=28543">mapa musical del país</a> que le guiará a través de los distintos géneros musicales.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La biblioteca también ha creado una <a href="http://www.bibliotecanacional.gov.co/index.php?idcategoria=18297">biblioteca digital</a> donde se carga y hacer libremente disponibles gran parte de su colección.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Ahora también hay una exposición muy completa sobre &#8220;<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_vor%C3%A1gine">La Vorágine</a>&#8221; de José Eustasio Rivera, en el primer piso de la biblioteca.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Thursday I attended the webinar titled &#8220;Opening up Library Systems through Web Services and SOA&#8221; which was co-hosted by <a href="http://www.webjunction.org/1">WebJunction</a> and <a href="http://www.alatechsource.org/">ALA Tech Source</a>, and moderated by Marshall Breeding. The session was very interested and presented three different cases of how Integrated Library Systems can be made more accessible, regardless of whether they run on Open Source software or not.</p>
<p>The hour and a half session consisted of three, half hour sessions in which three different presenters spoke about individual projects in which ILS have been made more open. The first presenter was Berit Nelson from Sirsidynix Corporation, who spoke about how Enterprise is using customized <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface">GUI</a>s to allow staff to achieve more complex work projects without needing to be tech pros. She also mentioned that her team is working to ensure that Enterprise is anticipating the future <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_and_Access">RDA</a> roll out by including appropriate tools that will update MARC to RDA standards.</p>
<p>Next came Bill Erickson from Evergreen &amp; Equinox. Erickson works with Evergreen which is Open Source and he highlighted some of the technology aspects of his work. He talked about how Supercat code provides access to bib. records and holdings data in a variety of formats, including MARC, MODS, and HTML, among others.</p>
<p>Last, but not least was Tamar Sadeh from Ex Libris&#8217; Open-Platform Program. Sadeh talked about how Meta Lib is improving federated searching, and mentioned the work that David Walker from Cal State is doing to <a href="http://xerxes.calstate.edu/">create a intuitive and customizable search system</a>. She also mentioned <a href="http://www.exlibrisgroup.org/display/CodeShare/Home">EL Commons CodeShare</a> with provides visitors with code for various ILS platforms and functions. There is also the <a href="http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/ELympics">Elympics</a>, a competition for the best Ex Libris based code extensions.</p>
<p>At the high of attendance, 467 people had logged in to listed to the presentation. Some asked questions, many listened and learned. And for those of you that weren&#8217;t able to listen to this webinar live, WedJunction archives these events on their website and makes them available for free (<a href="http://www.webjunction.org/ils/articles/content/87411455">This webinar&#8217;s archive</a>; <a href="http://www.webjunction.org/events/webinars/webinar-archives">full archives</a>). Take a look at their <a href="http://evanced.info/webjunction/evanced/eventcalendar.asp">calendar of events</a> to see future session.</p>
<p>All in all it was a great presentation, and very informative. And I love that WebJunction is making these webinars available to everyone for free. What a marvelous way to contribute to the library community!</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El jueves participé en el seminario titulado &#8220;La apertura de los Sistemas de Bibliotecas a través de Servicios Web y SOA&#8221;, que fue co-organizado por <a href="http://www.webjunction.org/1">WebJunction</a> y <a href="http://www.alatechsource.org/">ALA Tech Source</a>, y moderado por Marshall Breeding. La sesión estuvo muy interesante y presento tres casos diferentes de cómo diferentes sistemas de bibliotecas integrados pueden ser más accesibles, independientemente de si funcionan con software de código abierto o no. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La sesión de hora y media se componía de tres sesiones de media hora en la que los panelistas  hablaron sobre los diferentes proyectos que ilustran como varios sistemas de bibliotecas integrados se han hecho más abierto. La primer ponente fue Berit Nelson de SirsiDynix Corporation quien habló acerca de cómo Enterprise esta usando utilizando <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUI">interfaces gráficas de usuario</a> personalizadas para permitir que el personal pueda lograr proyectos de trabajo más complejos sin necesidad de ser profesionales de alta tecnología. También mencionó que su equipo está trabajando para adaptarse sus productos al futuro despliegue de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_and_Access">RDA</a> mediante la inclusión de instrumentos adecuados que actualizarán las normas MARC a las de RDA. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Luego presento Bill Erickson de Evergreen y Equinox. Erickson trabaja con Evergreen que es de código abierto  y destacó algunos de los aspectos tecnológicos de su trabajo. Habló de cómo el código Supercat proporciona acceso al registros bibliograficos en una variedad de formatos incluyendo MARC, MODS, y HTML, entre otros. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Por último, pero no menos importante fue Tamar Sadeh de Open Ex Libris Open-Platform Project. Sadeh habló de cómo Meta Lib esta mejorar la búsqueda federada y mencionó la labor que David Walker de Cal State está haciendo para crear un <a href="http://xerxes.calstate.edu/">sistema de búsqueda intuitivo y personalizable</a>. También mencionó <a href="http://www.exlibrisgroup.org/display/CodeShare/Home">EL Commons Code Share</a>, sitio que ofrece a los visitantes código compartido compatible con varios </span><span style="color: #888888;">sistemas de bibliotecas integrados</span><span style="color: #888888;"> y sus funciones. También existe los <a href="http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/category/ELympics">Elympics</a>, un concurso para las mejores extensiones de código que funcionen a base de Ex Libris. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Al evento asistieron 467 personas. Algunas hicieron preguntas, muchos escuchado y aprendieron algo nuevo. Y para aquellos de ustedes que no pudieron escuchar este webinar en vivo, WedJunction archiva estos eventos en su sitio web y los pone a disposición de todos de forma gratuita (El <a href="http://www.webjunction.org/ils/articles/content/87411455">archivo de este seminario</a>; los <a href="http://www.webjunction.org/events/webinars/webinar-archives">archivos completos</a>). Echa un vistazo a su <a href="http://evanced.info/webjunction/evanced/eventcalendar.asp">calendario de eventos</a> para ver eventos proximos. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En total fue una presentación excelente, y muy informativa. Y me encanta que WebJunction está ofreciendo estos seminarios a todos de forma gratuita. ¡Qué maravillosa forma de contribuir a la comunidad bibliotecaria! </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was just reading an <a href="http://chronicle.com/article/After-Losing-Users-in/48588/">article</a> from The Chronicle of Higher Education on library catalogs. The article starts off by mentioning a student who was having a hard time finding the material she wanted at her local university library. The discussion then continues by claiming that OPACs are loosing users because some people find them hard to use. They then continue to describe a few new developments in library OPACs, some commercial and some developed as open source.</p>
<p>The article does a basic job at explaining the fundamentals of a discussion that has been going on in the library for years, and one where the parties involved often cannot agree. But Marc Parry, the article&#8217;s author, seems to have forgotten to include a couple librarians in this discussion. Luckily many diligent librarians have found the article already and are happily &#8220;commenting&#8221; away on it.</p>
<p>One diligent commenter explained that OPACs do no function as Google, and in my opinion, they each serve different roles. mitt4jp wrote;</p>
<blockquote><p>I found this article a little mis-leading. First of all, a library catalog is structured differently from a search engine. To find items about Thomas Jefferson, the correct way is to use &#8220;Thomas Jefferson&#8221; as a subject, not as keywords [anywhere] search.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, instead of teaching students how to conduct a precise search with few relevant results, faculty and librarians have found an easy way out &#8212; googlize everything.</p></blockquote>
<p>I think one of the main issues in this discussion is who our users are. Someone who is looking for something good to read for leisure might benefit from a simpler interface, maybe one with just one search box, sort of like Google. But someone who needs a very specific item will likely need a sharper tool.</p>
<p>The other issue in this discussion is information literacy, meaning, do you have the skills you need to find the information you are looking for? I remember having to take a required course in library literacy for my undergrad. I remembered being rather intimidated with the process when I first walked into the session, but I also remember leaving in total amazement and fascination.</p>
<p>How about you come to your own conclusions? Harvard currently runs two OPACs, one <a href="http://hollis.harvard.edu/">catalog</a> has many of the new features currently in vogue, and the <a href="http://lms01.harvard.edu/F/B3YRIU4SXTVFTEPK61C9VTGA6BP9YSSNUJIA679T7KLHURT9DT-13737?RN=953502966">sturdy old catalog</a> that has been around for years. What are you using it for? And most importantly, are you finding what you are looking for?</p>
<p>Thank you to Marcel for pointing out this article.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Estaba leyendo un <a href="http://chronicle.com/article/After-Losing-Users-in/48588/">artículo</a> de The Chronicle of Higher Education sobre los catálogos de la biblioteca. El artículo comienza mencionando una estudiante que estaba teniendo dificultades encontrando el material que quería en su biblioteca universitaria. El artículo continúa afirmando que los catálogos en línea están perdiendo usuarios porque a algunas personas les resulta difícil usarlos. A continuación siguen describen algunas novedades en el desarrollo de catálogos en línea para las bibliotecas, algunos comerciales y algunos desarrollados con código abierto. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El artículo cubre lo básico de esta discusión que ha estado ocurriendo en la biblioteca durante años, y donde las partes implicadas a menudo no pueden ponerse de acuerdo. Pero Marc Parry, autor del artículo, parece haberse olvidado de incluir por lo menos a un par bibliotecarios en esta discusión. Afortunadamente, muchos bibliotecarios diligentes han encontrado el artículo y ya están felizmente agregando sus comentarios. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Un comentarista explicó que los catálogos en linear no están diseñador para funcionar como Google, y en mi opinión, cada uno cumple una función diferente. mitt4jp escribió; </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #888888;"> He encontrado este artículo un poco engañoso. En primer lugar, un catálogo de la biblioteca tiene una estructura diferente de un motor de búsqueda. Para encontrar artículos sobre Thomas Jefferson, la manera correcta es utilizar &#8220;Thomas Jefferson&#8221; como un sujeto y no como palabras clave en la búsqueda. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"> Lamentablemente, en lugar de enseñar a los estudiantes cómo realizar una búsqueda precisa, con pocos resultados relevantes, profesores y bibliotecarios han encontrado una salida más fácil &#8211; Googlizar todo. </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Creo que una de las principales cuestiones en este debate son nuestros usuarios. Alguien que está buscando algo bueno para leer por placer podría beneficiarse de un interfaz más simple, tal vez uno con un solo cuadro de búsqueda, algo parecido a Google. Pero alguien que necesita material muy específico probablemente necesitará una herramienta más fina. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La otra cuestión en este debate es la alfabetización en información, lo que significa, ¿tiene las habilidad que necesita para encontrar la información que busca? Recuerdo tener que tomar un curso obligatorio en la alfabetización de la biblioteca durante mi pregrado. Recuerdo que al principio el proceso me pareció intimidante, pero también recuerdo haber salido en total asombro y fascinación. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¿Qué tal si llega a sus propias conclusiones? En la actualidad Harvard mantiene dos catálogos en línea, un <a href="http://hollis.harvard.edu/">catálogo</a> cuenta con muchas de las nuevas características de moda, y el <a href="http://lms01.harvard.edu/F/B3YRIU4SXTVFTEPK61C9VTGA6BP9YSSNUJIA679T7KLHURT9DT-13737?RN=953502966">catálogo antiguo y fuerte</a> que ha existido por años. ¿Para qué lo está usando? Y lo más importante, ¿está encontrando lo que estás buscando? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Gracias a Marcel por mostrarme este artículo. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With some financial help from the National Endowment for the Humanities, digital-humanities professor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Flanagan">Mary Flanagan</a> is developing a game that will help add tags to some of <a href="http://www.dartmouth.edu/">Dartmouth College</a>’s archival collections. Flanagan expects that students will be interested in the game which presents a player with an image for which they have to create “labels” for, and which will then be compared to the “labels” other players added (I presume in the hopes for increased accuracy). The game is expected to help reduce costs at the library.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Labeling-Library-Archives-Is-a/7793/">article</a> in the Chronicle of Higher Education did not mention whether the collections involved in this project would only get student added labels or if these would be used alongside <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_of_Congress_Subject_Headings">LCSH</a>, nor did they mention any librarians, or more importantly, catalogers being involved with the development of this game. The project sounds a little like the <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2008/01/18/penntags/">PennTags</a> system at UPenn, or the <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2008/01/24/the-commons/">LOC Flickr account</a>.</p>
<p>Flanagan eventually expects to release the game under an Open Source license so others may use it as well.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Con la ayuda financiera de la Fundación Nacional para las Humanidades, la profesora de humanidades digitales <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Flanagan">Mary Flanagan</a> está desarrollando un juego que ayudará a añadir etiquetas a algunas de las colecciones de archivos de <a href="http://www.dartmouth.edu/">Dartmouth College</a>. Flanagan supone que los estudiantes estarán interesados en el juego, el cual  presenta al jugador una imagen para la cual tendrán que crear &#8220;etiquetas&#8221;, las cuales luego serán comparados con las &#8220;etiquetas&#8221; que otros jugadores han añadido (supongo que con la esperanza de aumentar su exactitud). Se espera que el juego ayude a reducir costos en la biblioteca. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El <a href="http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Labeling-Library-Archives-Is-a/7793/">artículo</a> del Chronicle of Higher Education no mencionó si las colecciones que participan en este proyecto sólo recibirán las etiquetas añadidas por estudiantes o si además utilizarán puntos de acceso de la Biblioteca del Congreso (<a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clasificaci%C3%B3n_de_la_Biblioteca_del_Congreso">LCSH</a>), ni se menciona la participación de algún bibliotecarios, o más importante aún, la participación de catalogadores profesionales en el desarrollo del juego. El proyecto suena un poco como el sistema de <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2008/01/18/penntags/">PennTags</a> en UPenn, o la <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2008/01/24/the-commons/">cuenta de Flickr de la LOC</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Flanagan espera lanzar el juego bajo una licencia de código abierto para que otros </span><span style="color: #888888;">también </span><span style="color: #888888;">puedan usarlo.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the same lecture that I attended earlier this week I learned about the <a title="Cook Memorial Library" href="http://tamworthlibrary.org/">Cook Memorial Library</a> in <a title="Tamworth nh" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamworth%2C_NH">Tamworth</a>, NH. This small public library has done away with their old static website and have replaced it with a WPopac. A WPopac is something created by Casey Bisson by tweaking <a title="wordpress" href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> to become an OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). We got to see the insides of this library&#8217;s website and it looks exactly like the insides of this very blog you are reading.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En la misma conferencia que asistí a principios de la semana me escuche varias cosas interesantes sobre la <a href="http://tamworthlibrary.org/">biblioteca Cook Memorial</a> en <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamworth%2C_NH">Tamworth</a>,  NH. Esta pequeña biblioteca pública ha eliminado su antigua página web  estática y la reemplazó con un WPopac. Un WPopac es algo creado por  Casey Bisson, modificando el software de blogs <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>,  convirtiéndolo en un OPAC (Catálogo de Acceso Público en Línea). Bisson  nos mostro el interior de este catalogo y se ve exactamente igual que  el interior de este blog que está leyendo.</span></p>
<p>The fascinating concept here is what can be created for free with the Opensource tools that are already available to us.  Currently the Cook Memorial Library&#8217;s site provides you with just one search box that gives you relevant returns from all of their site, not just the OPAC. The fact that the search box cover the entire site means that if you search for local poet Marnie Cobbs, you will find out not only that the library carries her book titled &#8220;The Quiet Rage&#8221;, but also that she will be appearing at the library on May 8th. This set up also allows content on the web to be accessible through Google searches and the like.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El  lo fascinante es ver lo que se puede crear usando software Opensource,  de uso completamente gratis, y disponibles para nosotros. En la  actualidad, el sitio web Biblioteca Memorial Cook le proporciona  un  solo cuadro de búsqueda que le devolverá resultados relevantes de todo  su sitio web, no sólo del catalogo. El hecho de que el cuadro de  búsqueda logra cubrir todo el sitio web quiere decir que una búsqueda de  la poeta Marnie Cobbs le proporcionara no sólo el libro en la  biblioteca titulado &#8220;The Silente Rage&#8221;, pero también le dará información  sobre su evento en la biblioteca el 8 de mayo.  Esto también permite  crear contenidos en el sitio que será  accesible a través de búsquedas  en Google y otros buscadores.</span></p>
<p>Like any blog, the site allows collaboration by anyone who wants to contribute their two cents towards what is happening with the library. In relation to this, we heard the story of a man who is home-bound and therefore could not access the library, but now with this interactive site, he is able to participate by posting comments and starting discussions. In this sense the library is no longer just serving their immediate neighbors, but virtually anyone using the web.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Al  igual que cualquier blog, el sitio permite la colaboración de cualquier  persona que quiera contribuir con lo que está ocurriendo con la  biblioteca. En relación con esto, hemos escuchado la historia de un  hombre que se no puede salir de su casa y por tanto no puede ir a la  biblioteca, pero ahora con este sitio interactivo puede participar  enviando comentarios y participando en debates en la página de la  biblioteca. En este sentido la biblioteca ya no solo provee servicios a  los vecinos inmediatos, sino que incluye prácticamente cualquier usuario  de la web.</span></p>
<p>You can learn more about this project and how it came about at <a title="maisonbisson" href="http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11133/">maisonbisson</a>. Bisson is also behind the <a title="Bayond Brown Paper" href="http://beyondbrownpaper.plymouth.edu/">Beyond Brown Paper</a> project which is also based on WordPress.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Puede obtener más información sobre este proyecto y la forma en que se produjo en <a href="http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11133/">maisonbisson</a>. Bisson también está detrás del proyecto “<a href="http://beyondbrownpaper.plymouth.edu/">Beyond Brown Paper</a>”, que está también basado en WordPress.</span></p>
<p>11.14.07 &#8211; The Plymouth State University Lamson Library&#8217;s OPAC runs on WPopac, now known as <a title="Scriblio" href="http://about.scriblio.net/about">Scriblio</a>.

<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://laptop.org/en/">One Laptop per Child (OLPC)</a> is a non-profit organization trying to address the lack of resources many Third World Countries struggle with and how these affect education and hinder technological development. Keeping in mind that many countries can only afford to spend $20 per child per year on education (compared to about $7,500 that the USA spends), OLPC tries to circumvent traditional approaches to the situation, and instead want to make available the tools that can allow children to explore and learn on their own. OLPC feel that efforts should continue to build school and train teachers in the poorest corners of the world, but simultaneously wants to try a more direct approach. The idea is to transform these children with personal laptops into teachers. Each child can explore the world on their machine, and will later be able to teacher elders and other children about what they have learned; in this way the entire community can benefit.</p>
<p>These laptops are designed for use by the world’s poorest children. They run on open source software, keeping in mind that while all children won’t become programmers, they should have the opportunity to continue growing without constrains by their equipment. The machine itself is designed to run on very low power, and some of the earliest models were powered through cranking, or with a foot-pedal. The display must also be sunlight-readable, since most children will be outdoors when working on their laptops. The machine itself is small, light and has a handle for easy carrying. It also has a monitor which rotates, allowing for others to participate.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This program was first designed to involved governments into buying laptops for children, and initial conversations involved proposals for Brazil, Argentina, Libya, Nigeria and Thailand. Recently Uruguay and Rwanda have also joined in. Currently the program continues to grow through donations by individuals, businesses and foundations.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to learn more about the project visit their <a href="http://www.laptop.org/en/">site</a> and their <a title="OLCP wiki" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Main_Page">wiki</a>. You can find information on donating and participating <a title="OCPL donate" href="http://laptopfoundation.org/participate/">here</a>.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">04.03.07 &#8211; I just found a webcast by <a title="Walter Bender" href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~walter/">Walter Bender</a>, president of OLPC, discussing this project; you can access it <a title="Bender OLPC" href="http://mitworld.mit.edu/video/435/">here</a>. There is another webcast by <a title="Nicolas Negroponte" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Negroponte">Nicolas P. Negroponte</a>, chairman and co-founder of OLPC,which can be accessed <a title="Negroponte OLPC" href="http://mitworld.mit.edu/slashdot.html">here</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">04.17.07 &#8211; The OLPC interface runs on a lightweight version of Fedora Linux, called Sugar. You can take a look at it <a title="OLPC Sugar" href="http://www.eweek.com/slideshow/0,1206,a=205057,00.asp">here</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">07.15.07 &#8211; Intel has just joined forces with OLPC, after creating competition for each other, in trying to offer low cost computers to children in the developing world. Currently there is no talk about changing processing chips, yet the idea is to develop a variety of low cost computers in the future that can function of a variety of platforms.  Intel has been producing the <a title="classmate pc" href="http://www.intel.com/intel/worldahead/classmatepc/">Classmate</a> for sale in developing countries at a cost of US $200.00. You can read more about this in an <a title="intel joins OLPC bbc" href="http://colombianflowers.wordpress.com/wp-admin/07/15/07%2014:20:03%20CDT">article</a> by the BBC.</p>
<p>07.23.07 &#8211; After much anticipation and testing, OLPC is posed to start massive production, explaining that they finally have orders large enough to make the project viable. You can read more about this at an <a title="olpc production bbc" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6908946.stm">article</a> by the BBC. And here is another <a title="olpc parts bbc" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6679431.stm">article</a> explaining the different components of the laptop and how they work.</p>
<p>06.08.07 &#8211; It seems that everyone is in a rush to grab a piece of the computer market in the developing world. Today the BBC has an <a title="bbc low cost computers" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6932897.stm">article</a> about other major computer producers rushing towards this market, although they differ form the OLPC project in that these other companies are out just to make some money.  Beijing based Levono has announced a low cost computer that can be plugged into the TV</p>
<p>10.29.30- Uruguay just became the first country to buy a large number of these computers to make available to children 6 &#8211; 12.  They hope to make these laptops available to every children in the country by 2009. You can read more about this in an <a title="uruguay olpc bbc" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7068084.stm">article</a> from the BBC.</p>
<p>11.15.07 &#8211; &#8220;Give One &#8211; Get One&#8221; has started for the USA and Canada and will run until November 26, 2007. You can order yours <a title="laptop giving" href="http://laptopgiving.org/en/index.php">here</a>.</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://laptop.org/en/">One Laptop per Child (OLPC)</a> es una organización sin fines de lucro tratando de resolver la falta de recursos vivida en muchos lugares del Tercer Mundo y cómo estos afectan la educación y obstaculizan el desarrollo tecnológico. Teniendo en cuenta que muchos países sólo pueden gastar $20 por niño por año en educación (en comparación con cerca de 7.500 dólares que EE.UU. gasta), la OLPC intenta sobrepasar los enfoques tradicionales de la situación y en su lugar desea poner a disposición las herramientas que pueden permitir a los niños explorar y aprender por su propia cuenta. OLPC sienten que los esfuerzos deben continuar para construir escuelas y formar maestros  en los rincones más pobres del mundo pero a la vez quiere probar un acercamiento más directo. La idea es transformar a estos niños con computadoras portátiles personales en profesores. Cada niño puede explorar el mundo en su máquina y más tarde será capaz de compartir este conocimiento con sus maestros y otros niños, de esta manera toda la comunidad pueda beneficiarse.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Estos portátiles están diseñados para uso con los niños más pobres del mundo. Los computadores funcionan con software de código abierto teniendo en cuenta que si bien no todos los niños se convertirán en programadores, si deben tener la oportunidad de continuar creciendo sin limitaciones por su equipo. La máquina en sí está diseñado para funcionar con una corriente eléctrica muy baja y algunos de los primeros modelos se cargan a través una manivela, o con un pedal. La pantalla también debe ser legible bajo luz solar, ya que la mayoría de los niños estarán al aire libre cuando estén trabaja en sus computadoras portátiles. La máquina en sí es pequeña, ligera y tiene un agarradera para facilitar su transporte. También cuenta con un monitor que rota, lo que permite a otros a participar.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Este programa fue diseñado por primera vez para negociar con gobiernos involucrados en la compra de computadores portátiles para los niños. En la conversaciones iniciales incluían propuestas para la  participación de Brasil, Argentina, Libia, Nigeria y Tailandia. Recientemente, Uruguay y Rwanda también se han unido. Actualmente el programa sigue creciendo a través de donaciones de particulares, empresas y fundaciones.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">10.29.30-Uruguay acaba de convertirse en el primer país en comprar un gran número de estos equipos para ponerlos a disposición de los niños entre 6 – 12 años.
