I don't know how much background information you have, but it's all in the Wiki http://wiki.laptop.org/ if you need more than I have room to tell you about. Some people find my video on Expanding the Vision of OLPC helpful. You can get to it from my page, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Mokurai. We are out to save the world through education on computers, leading to the end of poverty and some other consequences of general interest. Peru and Uruguay have ordered OLPC XO laptops for all of their schooldchildren, and we have smaller deployments and trials in dozens of other countries. See, for example, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Category:OLPC_Brazil. Our Sugar software for Linux is being localized into both português and português do Brasil, along with 80 or so other languages. Venezuela has ordered a million laptops for schoolchildren, using your Caixa Mágica Linux. We would like to put our Sugar education software on CM and thus on those laptops. We have RPMs of many of our Activities that were developed for Fedora Linux, and we have started a discussion with Mandriva about getting those RPMs into their distribution. So everything is lined up, and now we want to talk with you about getting our packages into your distribution, and get our volunteers and staff working with your volunteers and staff. You should get acquainted with Walter Bender, head of Sugar Labs, and also David Farning; Jim Gettys, Scott Ananian, S. J. Klein, and others in software at OLPC; Ivan Krstić, our security maven; and others whom they can introduce you to. What else do you need to know? -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज ) is my name And children are my nation. The Cosmos is my dwelling place, The Truth my destination. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
