1. XO-1.5 for activities for development and testing - Thailand
http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=58119
[SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 1 XO-1.5 over undetermined months
Project Objectives:
This was the game i had developed in 2007 so i want to develope similar
academic activities for XO.
2. XO-1.5 application and 2 Serials Adapters - Tuebingen, Germany

[SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 2 XO-1.5's and 2 Serial Adapters over undetermined months
Project Objectives:
Add version support to the Sugar data store. Since data store
performance directly impacts user experience, direct testing on the
XO-1.5 with the built-in MicroSD card (=> slow write performance [5]
in general, potentially write amplification effect) would be very
useful.
Additionally I'm -- as Bernie Innocenti phrased it --
"hacking all over the place", including kernel and hardware work. My
offer to diagnose & repair XOs (keeping in mind that I don't have
advanced equipment like a scope - got everything list for the
Repair Center Kit [21], though) still holds as well.

4. XO-1.5 for for Jolicloud by Krim International - Paris, France

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolicloud
[SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ]
Requests 1 XO-1.5's over undetermined months
Project Objectives:
*Jolicloud* is a Linux <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux>-based
operating system <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system> that is
currently in development
and Pre-beta <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-beta> testing. The
project was founded in 2009 by Tariq Krim who is
based in Paris, France.^[1]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolicloud#cite_note-Crunchbase_profile-0>
Jolicloud is built upon Debian and Ubuntu 9.10,
but is tweaked to be more suitable for computers that have weaker
specifications in terms of disk storage
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_storage>, memory
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_memory> and screen size.^[2]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolicloud#cite_note-Liliputing_Review-1> It is
designed to run on relatively low-powered netbook
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netbook> computers.^[3]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolicloud#cite_note-TechCrunch-2> Jolicloud
relies heavily on Mozilla Prism-based packages for running web-based
applications. [excerpt from Wikipedia]
