I know of a few efforts in Sri Lanka. Our prolific Sinhala localizer,
Daniska Navin, has added Sugar Desktop to the Hanthana Linux distro,
which targets educational use on generic PCs (for both school and home
use). I believe the KDE education suite is blended in and that the
program has reached 15 schools so far. Possibly counting Sugar and
KDE together adds up to the number 850?

I’ve suggested Danishka apply to the OLPC Contributor’s program to
have a chance to try XO laptops as well. I also know of another
Contributor’s Program application that is just getting started via
“Catalyst for Hope”.

Of course, everyone should be thankful to Kalpa Pathum Welivitigoda
(IRC: callkalpa)

who has been doing excellent work on packaging Sugar Activities for Fedora.

I don’t know who is in Colombo, but one of them hopefully will and as
always, we should encourage the “weaving of the grassroots” to have
the local efforts share resources and knowledge.
