Hi All! Some people from La Salle are interested in helping out with OLPC Philippines. Below is an email from Solomon See from the La Salle CCS faculty.
Solomon, to start participating in OLPC Philippines, it would be best to join the OLPC Philippines mailing list here at: olpc-philippines@lists.laptop.org You can subscribe at: http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-philippines You can also find more information at the OLPC Ph wiki at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Philippines Solomon, Rey, if you can come up with a good proposal, you can request developer XO Laptop units from OLPC Boston itself. Details are at the URL below: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Contributors_program Basically you fill up a form and if your request is approved, the units will be shipped to your group. Charles, Sandeep, it would be great if you guys can coordinate with the guys from La Salle as Solomon and co. are pretty enthusiastic about OLPC. Best regards, -Naz "Anyway, DGDL and DLSU College of Computer Studies is interested in helping out in the OLPC PH project, in creating Games and Educational Content for the OLPC. We have reviewed the specs and capabilities of the OLPC from the site and have a game project and development ideas for it. We could also help out in localizing the applications that are in the OLPC. We are also wondering how we could get access to OLPC's so we can start reviewing and evaluating the capabilities of the device and field out development projects to student as their thesis starting next term (June 2009). If you have any inquiries or would like to contact us for possible collaborations in this matter, you can contact me at this address or at this mobile number 0917-8958530. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks! -Solomon" -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com -- user group manager phlashers: philippine flash actionscripters adobe flash/flex/air community http://www.phlashers.com -- interactive media specialist zen graffiti studios http://www.zengraffiti.com -- "if you don't like the way the world is running, then change it instead of just complaining." _______________________________________________ OLPC-Philippines mailing list OLPC-Philippines@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-philippines
