Hello All,
My name is Joshua Wynn a thesis student at NYU that is in the process of doing research that involves OLPC effort to provide efficient network connectivity. I became fascinated with this non profit Organization back in 2005 after reading a series of news articles on this great initiative. I now have the opportunity to conduct a thesis level study on OLPC. My focus has been narrowed to the network connectivity within classrooms. I would like to focus how children will receive a stable connection with the laptops in the classrooms. I was looking into two countries both Peru and Uruguay. I am looking to measure the duration of connectivity, how long it takes for a laptop to stay connected, and how many laptops can simultaneously connect at a time within a classroom. I having been searching for information on deployments in the various developing nations that OLPC has worked with. I would like to ask you if is possible that I can pointed in the right direction of data and contacts pertaining to the network and server connectivity deployment aspect. I am trying to collect as much data as I can on success and failure rates, the causes and effects, and what other variables there may be within the process. I look forward to adding to the body of knowledge with data I hope to analyze and being able to contribute (via wiki) where possible. Any help you can provide would be most appreciative. Thank you very much, Joshua Wynn
