OLPC Deploymentshttp://bit.ly/ICT4D-Deployments
● An OLPC deployment is a complex project
● Several challenges○ Logistic○ Technical○ Energetic○ Human
● Won't be done in one go; iterative and incremental process on the long run.
Global remark
Keep in mind that
● It's an education project, not a laptop project○ Sugar is no more than a tool for the teaching○ The XO is no more than a tool to run Sugar
● Focus on the education○ Educate the kids○ Educate the educators
About the infrastructure ...
● Don't focus too much on Internet access○ Lack of relevant content
● Pay attention to electricity
● Look at the transport of all the material that is/will be needed
What you can use here
● 10 XO-1 from 2007 + accessories
Lot of them are broken
● During prolonged storage, the battery in charge of keeping the clock ticking dies out
● Instructions to repair the XOs○ http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Disassembly_top○ http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Fix_Clock
● We're looking for volunteers to help us with that ;-)
What you can use online
