Deployments
From OLPC
There are roughly 2.5 million XOs in the field as of January, 2012. The information below represents the number of XOs delivered, shipped or ordered for each country or region. Not all XOs are currently in schools. Where possible, the status of each country and additional details on their software and deployment status is included at the bottom (and on the detailed deployment page). There is also a separate Pilots page for small pilots, which are often run independently from OLPC.
For an overview of deployment steps, see our deployment guide.

Maps
A few color-maps of the world showing the relative sizes of global deployments are available from our Maps page.

Definitions
All information is tentative and subject to change without notice. For the purposes of this and related pages, we use the following definitions:
- Pilot
- Any project with less than 5,000 laptops in the same school or community with the goal of supplying an XO to every primary school age child.
- Deployment
- Any project with more than 5,000 laptops in the same region that has been launched with significant engagement by national educational leaders, with a goal of of supplying an XO to every primary school age child.
Preparing for your own deployment
Please check out the Deployment Guide for information about doing an XO deployment.
To document your OLPC deployment, please simply create a new wiki page and add the Deployment template text to your new page along with some details, and if possible technical details, education outcomes and photos of your success.
I can really edit this? Then I think anyone can put false information on this page -- Anonymous
- Yes, this is true. Others watch for this, and as a community we expect the competing changes will approach truth. See how a public Wiki works. If you have corrections, please make them. This page is almost certainly out of date and incomplete. Use the Talk page for discussion in future. --Quozl 20:37, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Deployment status
| Deployment status | |
|---|---|
| Guinea | A team coached by SvenAERTS - former OLPC Europe - is working here and proposed 2012.03.14 the OLPC Educational Project to the new - November 2010 - first elected government after over 50 years of dictatorship, which is calling upon their team to help make good use of the couple of millions received from the international community. We met several ministers, including the prime minister. The minister of Education claimed he knows the project and saw the project during a state visit to another country, but the laptops were blue and he will receive them for free. We told him the laptops must have been from another project. We indicated potential resources and grant lines to obtain the XO's, but he insisted he would get the blue computers for free. We left it at that and went to the prime minister. 9 Months later, no blue computers have been received. |
