MIT – Random thoughts and serendipity http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog A collection of jottings on various issues that excite no one else Wed, 22 Sep 2010 12:40:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.17 21471312 OLPC and other bits http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/2010/09/22/olpc-and-other-bits/ http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/2010/09/22/olpc-and-other-bits/#respond Wed, 22 Sep 2010 12:40:01 +0000 http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/?p=693 Continue reading OLPC and other bits →]]> I recently read this news about David Cavallo (who isn’t listed here). Together with the fact that NN seems to be back at MIT, this pops up the question about the “learning” part of OLPC’s mission.

However, what interests me more is the OLPC Foundation and the stated purpose. How, if at all, does that get impacted ?

The OLPC Foundation’s mission is to stimulate local grassroots initiatives designed to enhance and sustain over time the effectiveness of laptops as learning tools for children living in lesser-developed countries.

I didn’t read any official comments about these and of course nothing much by the way of providing a forward looking statement.

How does this impact SugarLabs ?
