Question to Nicolas Negroponte (founder of One Computer Per Child- project)

WHEN will the Give 1 Get 1 initiative be available in other countries also?

We living in other countries will also like to participate in the Give 1 Get 1 initiative.

You are starting in the US and Canada. But declared that you will try to expand the program globally over time. Any chance that us living in Scandian Countries can be able to join before christmas 2007 ?

ONE COMPUTER PER CHILD

ONE WORLD

ONE COMPUTER PER CHILD

Imagine the potential that could be unlocked by giving every child in the world the tools they need to learn, no matter who they are, no matter where they live, no matter how little they may have.

A donation of $200 will pay for and deliver one XO laptop to a child in a developing nation.

And even more interesting is the “Give 1 Get 1 “-campain that starts 12November …
For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home.

How wery smart ..I mean you do whant to show your friends the clever Linux computer you delivered ..just one thing that I do not like … the Give 1 Get 1
just valid for people in North America.

So if you’re interested and in North America !!! in Give 1 Get 1 it starts in 12 november

exchange notes;

200 usdollar is 1276 svkr or 138 euro

399 usdollar is 2500 svkr or 276 euro

Not there …yet Adopting Linux Philosophy

 

From Linux Ubuntu “Our Philosopy“

Our work is driven by a philosophy on software freedom that aims to spread and bring the benefits of software to all parts of the world. At the core of the Ubuntu Philosophy are these core philosophical ideals:

1. Every computer user should have the freedom to download, run, copy, distribute, study, share, change and improve their software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees.
2. Every computer user should be able to use their software in the language of their choice.
3. Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if they work under a disability.

…..Soo Nokia is not completely there…. yet, But still I do admire companies like Nokia who with the Linux -Maemo-platform is doing considerable to make the the “Free” like in freedom in ..your hands.

Just a artgallery ?

After some time with the n800 device, still very pleased with all. . . . But since the BT keyboard is on service (Not possible to use tree of the keys ) I been thinking of using this just as a place to upload my pictures. Pictures drawn with  some of the applications on the device. Applications like ;

Skiss

or

Maemopad+.

or the clip art drawing application by the name of

PontMiller

Accept disability?

As I thought the 2.0 web-page “netvibes” did not work from the nokia n800 Internet tablets Opera web-browser.

Perhaps I could download the alternative Browser Minimo …. or should i accept that there is things you can not do on the Internet Tablet ?? 

AJAX ?
