Hi, The Lennon video that's been murmured about for weeks has been released. I'm curious to see reactions from the list. If anyone makes a screensaver version of the opening sequence, which I love, I'll send you my first attempt at a memory-doubled XO. I'm hoping to get more details about how it was made to post as well... It's had 50,000 views (wow, make that 65k since I wrote this draft at lunch) in the past day. Details and a couple other awesome video links are up on the blog. http://blog.laptop.org
Quick G1G1 updates : 1. The first batch of international G1G1 machines should all have arrived this week, in time for Christmas. Some people in Europe weren't sure about when the program is ending; while we didn't announce a specific date, it is likely to stop after December 31st. While there was been discussion about continuing G1G1 for a short while longer in the US, that may end at the same time. http://blog.laptop.org/2008/12/24/g1g1-international-update/ 2. There is a form you can fill out if you'd like OLPC to mail a thank-you card to someone when you donate on their behalf, and a downloadable PDF of the card you can send directly: http://laptop.org/thankyou/donationform.html http://laptop.org/thankyou/OLPC_GiftCard.pdf I hope we can use a lot of these for the ongoing give-a-school program (whatever it is called!). If you make translations (of the form or card), post details to localization@ and web-t...@laptop .
