Del Blog de Greenstone:

In 2008, the University of Waikato a received a Grant from the
Mellon Foundation to promote contributions to the Greenstone Digital Library
suite which provide significant benefits to higher education, libraries,
museums, arts, or nature conservation. The University is using the award to
support the Greenstone community of developers and users, particularly in
developing countries (see the announcement
<http://www.greenstone.org/blog#announcement> below).
The first grant of US$ 8,000 has been awarded to Prodigio
Consultores <http://www.prodigioconsultores.com/> in Santiago, Chile, to
coordinate the launching of a sustainable, voluntary, not-for-profit Greenstone
support network for Latin America. In carrying out this work by end June 2010,
Prodigio will:
* identify national coordinators for focal points for
promotion of the Greenstone Digital Library software in at least 3 Latin
American countries;
* establish contracts engaging each national coordinator
to organise a national Greenstone training workshop, provide technical support
services for one year and to ensure development and public access to at least
one new Greenstone digital library application;
* create a regional coordinating and evaluation committee
composed of representatives of the national coordinators and other Latin
American experts;
* establish a collaborative portal to inform and
facilitate cooperation among Greenstone users in Latin America (including
announcement of training events, news about and links to Greenstone collections
in the region, FAQs, and documentation on Greenstone in regional languages);
* provide technical assistance to the work of the
national coordinators;
* coordinate the work of the regional coordinating and
evaluation committee with a view to formally establishing and consolidating the
regional support network.
Additional support has been provided to enable Diego Spano,
Director of Projects at Prodigio, to undertake a visit to Waikato to
familiarise himself with the latest Greenstone developments and to discuss the
development of the Latin American network.
Although Prodigio is a commercial company, it will be
undertaking this activity on a totally not-for-profit basis. This work will
build on the Spanish-language Greenstone discussion list
<//www.freelists.org/list/greenstone_es> which has been moderated by
Prodigio for the past year. Further information can be obtained from Diego
Spano <mailto:diegospano@xxxxxxxxx> .
The Latin American network will join the Greenstone support
networks in South Asia <http://greenstonesupport.iimk.ac.in/> (operating since
2006) and Southern Africa
<http://www.eifl.net/cps/sections/services/eifl-foss/greenstone> (operating
since 2007).
We hope to award the remaining Greenstone-Mellon grants by June
2009 in order to meet the deadlines for the use of these funds. Interested
parties are referred to the grant announcement:
