Hello together, and thanks to Edward for sharing the information. I have only recently joined OLPC Germany, so I am not highly aware of relevant ideas that have been already discussed here (though I have been following the project for some years now, primarily via the blog) but I would like to chime in should some of you plan to structure something for this call.
It may be relevant that I am involved with another organization focusing on developing countries, ways.org (mainly at the PhD level, but also before and after that), and if you see potential in teeming up with them, I would be glad to facilitate this.
