Yes, but in 2007 "they" were "us", no?
Thanks, this is helpful information (I didn't know the status of
OLPC's previous GSoC work). I don't see why there is any reason to
presume that OLPC would NOT be interested in 2009 GSoC, but I don't
know of any active ideas/proposals kicking around here. I would
strongly encourage Sugar Labs ideas, however - to Ben's point, there
should be no confusion. The only things I could imagine (and it's
just imagining) coming from OLPC would be ancillary ideas (school
server add-ons?) that would be quite distinct from XO/Sugar software.
Go for it!
