Release Cycle

"We expect to be doing updates monthly through the first quarter of 2008. After that, we will likely adopt a three-month update cycle. Eventually we will adopt a six-month update cycle."

I know there's no official new policy on this, but clearly it didn't happen...--morgs 10:43, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Open Source : Synonym of FREEDOM


Hello Friends,
It's nice to see that OPLC is consistently working to encourage and develop free education through their mission statement ;

To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. When children have access to this type of tool they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future.

OPLC has created a TRUE COMPETITION among the major players of the LAPTOP industry. But still fighting HARD to achieve it main OBJECTIVES.
Coming to main point, Operating System and related Softwares are not a real HURDLE in the way. But the HARDWARE is always been and is. Which is IGNORED so luckily till now and i don't know how log it will be. All required the DEVELOPMENT so far have been done in TECHNICAL LAB's with sophisticated, which are indeed required. But can't the HARDWARE USED BY OPLC SHARED WITH EVERY ONE IN FORM of PCB LAYOUT AND CIRCUIT DIAGRAM. AS ALL THESE ARE THE SOURCE CODE OF AN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. If this is done as fast as we can, WE WOULD HAVE A NO. OF ELECTRONIC ENTHUSIASTS i.e., from Professional to Hobbyists to Novices ALL CONTRIBUTING ONLY FOR BETTERMENT OF STUDENTS
