| We've heard a lot about the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project,
| which aims to provide a $100 laptop for developing nations, and
| we've heard a bit about its Sugar interface and other technical
| abilities, but recently we spent the time with QEMU and a test
| build of the OLPC XO operating system (Fedora based) to see how
| it really shapes up.

| The idea behind the OLPC laptop is to provide children with the
| opportunity to learn about learning itself -- to explore,

OLPC Sugar User Interface Reviewed
,----[ Quote ]
| From a basic usability standpoint, we are very impressed. When you
| remember that OLPC is designed for young children in countries where
| access to computers is almost nonexistent, we believe that Sugar UI
| will fit the bill quite nicely.

Experimental Sugar SDK LiveCD

| Right now the iso weighs in at 291Megs which means we have some
| room to work with in terms of adding applications which would
| make it easier to develop for the OLPC and the Sugar environment.
| I would like to know what people think those applications are.

Australia To Trial OLPC
,----[ Quote ]
| In a surprise announcement, the government of the Northern Territory
| has announced that they are testing the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child)
| machines with a view to launching trials in remote communities.
|
| The OLPC has been designed for children in the developing world, in
| regions that struggle for basic infrastructure like clean running
| water, and electricity. So it may come as a surprise to some that
| an Australian state government has put up a hand to trial the new
| laptops.
