Hi, on our meeting in october we discussed the idea of getting an XO-pool for Switzerland. Associated to this idea is a sustainable and effective public action:
On the OpenExpo fair next April we would like to launch a contest for students. If they are willing to write a thesis on a topic concerning the OLPC project, be it technical or pedagogically, we would give them temporarily the XOs they need for their work. If they suceed they could keep one. The students have to write a blog on a contest portal, so everybody who is interested can follow the progress in their work. We now have the promise to get a certain amount of devices early next year for this purpose! Now we'd like to announce our contest in the printed program of the OpenExpo. Therefor I have designed a proposition (7.9MB): http://www.ulerch.net/xo-contest/OpenExpo.pdf Details would be explained on the homepage, which I haven't hosted yet. Please feel free to send me your feedback. I'm neither a graphic nor an advertising expert ;) Deadline is this Friday, after that I have to send it. Kind regards, Urs P.S.: If anybody would like to help me with this project, you're welcome! _______________________________________________ OLPC-ch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-ch http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Switzerland
