Looking at the on-ticket transcript of Friday's CP meeting I can't really figure out what was decided regarding this project... "Yes, but only with a mentor"? Anyway, I know it's a bit late but personally I'm wondering what the point of having a separate Bayern library is seeing that OLPC Germany already has (a) a library (b) a Web site and (c) generally an established presence in both Germany and Europe. What also strikes me as interesting is that none of the 4 people listed as team participants have been active or contributing to the existing OLPC Germany efforts. Looking at their stated goals they initially also seem to focus on a German translation of the existing documentation and generally documention tasks which doesn't necessarily require a laptop, let alone 15 (!). So IMHO what we should ask for them is why they want to set up a completely new infrastructure instead of collaborating with OLPC Germany and rolling their ideas into a joint project which would have a higher chance of "success".
