Re: Free OLPC for someone who needs it

2008-01-07 Thread Jesse Molina

I'm going through the replies that I received and I'm going to figure 
out who's getting the laptop here in a few minutes, or at least the 
final candidates.

Wow, I feel like a big jerk now.  I've got replies from all these great 
people, doing great stuff, and I've only got one laptop to give.

After I'm done, I'm going to go over to the OLPC Wiki and see about 
writing a page for others like myself who bought an XO via the B1G1 
program and would like to donate theirs to a worthy cause.

I bought mine, showed it around my office, convinced one or two others 
to buy or donate one, and now I've got nothing to do with it.  I don't 
have much time to contribute to the project.  I already work in 
non-profit cancer research, so there is only so much I can do with my time.

 You don't need to give me your mailing address or anything until later.
 
 I've only got one.  If you want to apply for an XO from OLPC directly, 
 there is info on how to do so here;

 I'd prefer to give it to a developer or someone who can actually make 
 use of it.  Or, I could just send it back to the OLPC Project and let 
 them reformat and redistribute it.

 Even better is if someone with the OLPC Project could tell me of someone 
 they know who needs one, and I'll ship it out.  My location is Arizona, 
 United States.

 Otherwise, send me an email telling me what you plan to do with it and 
 display some of your contributions or other involvement in the project. 
   Convince me that you're worthy and not just going to pawn it off on 
 ebay after a month.

Free OLPC for someone who needs it

2008-01-05 Thread Jesse Molina

I've got a free OLPC for someone who needs it.  It works fine.  I got it 
via the buy-one-get-one program.

I'd prefer to give it to a developer or someone who can actually make 
use of it.  Or, I could just send it back to the OLPC Project and let 
them reformat and redistribute it.
