On a related note, OLPC are looking for mentors and project ideas for Summer of Code this year, so please add yourself and your ideas -- or those of people you are mentoring, where a CP project has an obvious good fit.
See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code for details and encourage mentors to list themselves there. We are particularly interested in good mentors for schoolserver projects and key activity development.
