One of the projects I've been following quite closely is the OLPC project for the last couple of years. At Catalyst
we have an A-test board. Unfortunately I haven't much of a chance to play with it (although I would like to). Last night one of karora's sons ran over and told us "Daddy there is a grownup over there using a kids computer!". Turns out that the Please Send Us To linux.conf.au students from Oregon State University had a OLPC out and were playing with it. Susanne and I headed over to check it out. It is a really amazing device, even more amazing to see it in the flesh. It is very small, quite light and looks pretty darn cool. There is a video of us checking it on YouTube. I can see why the hype has increased even more now that all the components have been put together and the working screen is in it. Oh, and Susanne now really wants one. |
