Hallo,
ich dachte, das interessiert vielleicht einige: Unter
http://projectdb.olpc.at/
kann man jetzt einzelne Entwicklermaschinen beantragen. Die XOs haben
möglicherweise eine arabische Tastatur, aber das macht nichts, meiner
hat das auch, es sind zusätzlich die lateinischen Buchstaben
aufgedruckt.

If you have applied to the developer's program a few months ago,
please check to see if your application was transferred into the new
system:
http://projectdb.olpc.at/
If it is not there, I'm afraid you will have to apply again. The
idea with this new system is that there is a community who will help
evaluate the best uses for laptops. Please note that this program is
for single or two laptop requests, not quantities, so if you request
quantities of laptops, it will probably be refused.
SJ, Aaron,
Can you provide an overview of how the new system works? How
applications get reviewed and how often ship orders will be sent
out? How people get feedback on their request, etc?
Thanks!
Kim

a B3 or B4 (or G1G1 or whatever with the Geode LX). Shall I apply
again?
