Because I tend to see the value of pilot projects
If you, like me are curious to know how an OLPC initiative is working out as we speak. I have found a great little project over in Nepal.
Welcome to Shree Bashuki Lower Secondary School near Kathmandu.
In March they began preparing for their first OLPC pilot project. Kids in Nepal go back to school on April 14th, so the project leads are in the middle of preparation hysteria as far as I can tell.
These are some fascinating logs and blogs of their experience thus far, and though I can criticize NN for hubris, I can't criticize what seems to be a pretty decent little seed he's planted.
Yes, and I sure as S**t wish I was there troubleshooting their XO's, rather then here writing a paper.
