So I met with an Eee guy @ Chaos place this afternoon, talking about branding:

The idea is you check them out from work, differently configured per the job at hand, e.g. sometimes you're presenting about Apache on Linux, other times about Apache on Windows, so might have a "stable" of laptops. I'm not saying every adult cares to have all these laptops, just its a way to market separately from OLPC without muddying the waters. The Eee is an Intel box, doesn't have to run Windows, or maybe get a Dell preloaded with Ubuntu as your other top choice (closer to my configuration). Of course both OLPC and MLPA need funding sources, sponsors. I expect the UN will keep thinking of ways to jump in. Here's some more pro Django stuff on PPUG list (somewhat apropos, in terms of demoing Apache to lifers in cube farms): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/portland/2009-January/000538.html Kirby _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
