It's a real deployment, but not nationwide. The numbers I hear keep changing everyday, but the initial agreement was for 5K laptops in Florence + 5K laptops in a twin city. There are additional laptops for Brescia, Rome, and a mini-G1G1 that the ministry major for ICT wanted to promote. The deployment team will be mostly Torello and Francesco; Giulia and myself will help marginally -- or substantially, if we find the time. I'm not concerned about Italy remaining isolated, because of course the next OLPC release will catch up with Italian translation, and will therefore end this mini-fork. How can we make sure SKU 23 comes with this little mfg-data change from Quanta? -- \___/ _| o | Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \|_X_| "It's an education project, not a laptop project!" _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
