Re: Free OLPC for someone who needs it
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. Jesse Molina wrote: A couple of extra things...

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. So you deserve some words of encouragment: You're doing a good thing for the community, and it's very nice of you to make a laptop available to a developer who otherwise wouldn't have one. By doing it, you're boosting the chances that another good activity will be created to improve kids' learning. 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 think that's a great idea. 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.

The Sugarizing Factory project that Heather Stern and I are working on could make good use of your G1G1 XO. We only have B4s currently. We are analyzing the code requirements for Sugarizing non-Python apps, and intend to reduce them to a formula, to be automated to the extent possible. Then we will accept requests for Sugarizing any Free educational apps and tools. I have made a partial list on the Linux education packages Wiki page. I am proposing to start with the grpn calculator. I'd prefer to give it to a developer or someone who can actually make use of it.

Fwd: Free OLPC for someone who needs it
=galleries:main Mac OS X binaries for Version 3.2.2 can be downloaded from SourceForgehttp://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xaos/XaoS-3.2.2-MacOSX.dmg?download . - Screenshots from OLPC http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XaoS#Screenshots - Cerebro: Scalable presence information (Demo http://lyme.media.mit.edu:8000/) It's a light-weight protocol that allows 802.11b/g devices to form a mesh network. Cerebro has the following advantages: - It provides presence information about 100 nodes using only a single frame per 10 seconds, per node. - It runs on _any_ 802.11b/g device (tested on XO, Ubuntu, Nokia N800) - It can (but not yet) provide routing information within the mesh network that is formed by regular wifi devices. Other news: - Intel: John Markoff's article in today's New York Times provides an accurate description of the events of the past 48 hours regarding Intel (See http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/05/technology/05laptop.html). We made a sincere effort of rapprochement, but it was clear from even the way that Intel terminated the relationship—with an inadvertent leak—that their was no reciprocal sincerity. We made great strides before Intel joined us and we will continue to make great strides now that they have left the OLPC association. -- Forwarded message -- From: Jesse Molina [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Jan 5, 2008 5:13 PM Subject: Free OLPC for someone who needs it To: devel@lists.laptop.org I've got a free OLPC for someone who needs it.
