Dear ISF Colleagues,

The Ethos Roundtable (of which I am a co-convener) is hosting a
presentation on the One Laptop Per Child project on May 15th.

More details can be found here:

"One Laptop Per Child: How is this going to work?";
<http://blog.deborah.elizabeth.finn.com/blog/_archives/2007/5/6/2928278.html>

As you will see from my blog article, I'm collecting questions about
the project from members of the nonprofit technology community, which
I will then bring to the Ethos Roundtable discussion. You are welcome
to add your questions by posting them as comments to the blog article.

Many thanks and best regards from Deborah

P.S. If you'd like to know more about the Ethos Roundtable, please go

Slightly unrelated, but I find it ... I'm missing a word here -- amusing? ... that we first-worlders are fretting over a $100 laptop that currently costs ~$170 (last I checked), when India is aiming for a $10 laptop that currently costs ~$50.

(alas, I deleted the fwd of the article about this, but google & the india times can probably find it. )
