Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/903597/

A rural Mexican state was the setting for an initiative to use
the GNOME-based Endless OS to
improve
education in indigenous
communities. Over the last several
years, the Endless OS Foundation
has teamed up with the Fundación Alfredo Harp
Helú Oaxaca
(FAHHO) to deliver offline-first computers to those
communities, but also to assist these communities in preserving their native
languages. In a talk at GUADEC 2022, Rob McQueen
provided a look at the project and what it has accomplished.
