Wow! OLPC News has actually had an influence on One Laptop Per Child. I don't even know what to say, so I'll just quote their press release:

Cambridge MA, April 1, 2011: PRfoolwire - One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help provide every child in the world access to a modern education, announced today that its moving its operations from Cambridge, Mass to Montevideo, Uruguay to create a Worldwide Institute for Learning Learning. The Institute will promote the highest quality examples of learning with connected laptops in schools and communities, support ongoing laptop implementation plans across South America, and create an global learning learning network.

"One Laptop Per Child is now a global movement to have the world's children learn learning, and OLPC is expanding from merely a laptop project to a Worldwide Institute of Learning Learning," said Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of One Laptop per Child. "Recognizing the thought leadership of OLPC News in declaring Montevideo the OLPC capital of the world, we are moving our entire operations from 1 Cambridge Circle, to Montevideo, Uruguay, effective immediately, and we will move with the help of the world's children."

OLPC has already adapted the Sugar Learning Platform to promote collaborative directional learning through child-friendly Activities that encourage critical Pan American Highway driving skills.

Walter Bender, Executive Director of Sugar Labs, said, "The fluidity of movement between the virtual and real-world vehicle interfaces gives learners the ability to transition from a learning environment - Sugar - to a production and productivity environment - Colombian and then Brazilian drivers. They have the means of honing the logistical skills acquired in an elementary education setting into maneuverable skills for high school hallways during secondary education."

On arrival, OLPC will combine its formidable grandstanding oration and wiki documentation efforts with the implementation finesse of Centro para la Inclusión Tecnológica y Social (CITS) to form the Worldwide Institute for Learning Learning (WILL). WILL will promote learning learning through intensive documentation of its Windows XO child-centric software development process, rigorous independent evaluations, and hardware "bake-off's" that include OLPC's competitor One Macbook Per Child.
