cf. using http://sites.google.com/site/ and others in that line.

Why did we opt for Google Sites, Google Calendar, Google Discussion Groups, and the other Google tools, s.a. Google Docs? we are going to have to do a LOT of calculations and data-input for calculating the CO2e-reductions...

I've posted a Request For comments on this topic at Talk:Communication_channels...I didn't see any harm of going that road until there is a better option/comment. :) --SvenAERTS 21:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

other support

It sounds like an interesting program JamesK Thank you.--SvenAERTS 12:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC) -- how can people get involved with its development directly, other than by joining the mailing list?JamesK Simply by contacting the groups involved or skype SvenAERTS directly :-) Are there detailed pages that need more data or other input? JamesK Yes of course. They were removed by Sj and his gang. I don't know how to put them back, nor how, to what extend, how much nor how long we can use the wiki here.--SvenAERTS 12:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC) Are you already talking to environment grps for support? JamesK If you are you referring to GPRS-General Radio Packet System-connectivity/wvdial (pppd)? We are indeed talking to some ICT/Mobile Phone operators that need to compensate their CO2e emissions and need CO2e-certificates for this and are very interested in collaborating. Google's data processing centers, combined with the move to cloud-computing and increased CO2e-engagements of the planet, indeed need CO2e-certificates from a certain moment on. OLPCO2e is desperately trying to get in contact with the Google Top Management to share our points of view on the topic. We were however shielded of contacting the OLPC-Board Members in which Google has a place by some people at the top of OLPC.--SvenAERTS 12:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

It was an interesting idea, but it isn't being pursued now by OLPC. --Sj talk
  1. Please complete with (suggestion): ... by OLPC's top management. --SvenAERTS 12:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
  2. We would also like to know how to recuperate all the pages we created. --SvenAERTS 12:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

PS Greetings from Fedora: Frederic HORNAIN - cf. email att. Sven AERTS and Sj

Hi Sven, is the project being pursued by anyone at OLPC? Your suggestions for clarifying the page are welcome. Greetings from me back to M. HORNAIN !
I tried to merge all of the pages you hade made on the topic. Most of them had the same content repeated -- lists of links to other such pages, but most of the text was the same. I merged all of the novel bits into the current OLPCO2e page. There was a page about Agenda 21 which had a lot of text unrelated to OLPC and some unverifiable claims, which I did not merge. Redirected pages may be deleted the next time we clean up the wiki, if you want any of the non-OLPC texts you've posted you may want to keep copies of them elsewhere.

unrelated links

I removed these two links from the page:

AfricaCO2.org has been mandated by OLPCO2e.org to talk, develop, deploy, monetize and implement OLPCO2e's Plan of Action in Ruanda and Burundi.
ECOSUNsolutions.org has been mandated by OLPCO2e.org to talk, develop, deploy, monetize and implement OLPCO2e's Plan of Action in Gambia.
  1. What are these plans of action? Are they published anywhere?
  2. What does "mandated by OLPCO2e" mean?
  3. When you say "by OLPCO2e" who are you talking about? Who is part of that group? Unless OLPC is actually pursuing this project, it's misleading to continue your own project using that name.

inappropriate remarks

"... killed by manager Walter De B. after instructions by the OLPC partner Google."

This wiki is no place for conspiracy theories. Please be civil. --Sj talk 13:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
