From OLPC

[edit] John A. Watlington

I'm currently the vice president of Hardware Engineering at OLPC. I'm the person whose been leading the hardware engineering on the XO laptop hardware since the XO-1 B3 phase.

I'm also very interested in the OLPC School server, which represents the software and networking environment where the laptop is likely to be deployed.

My background includes many years spent at the MIT Media Lab, working on object-based media and system architectures for media processing. I've spent the last eight years working specifically on home servers and small wired/wireless user interface devices (audio/video thin clients, smart displays, mobile phones), from system architecture and hardware design to design of new applications.

I have two young sons, 12 and 9, and live in the Boston, Massachusetts, USA, area.
