I'm very amazed no IT teacher nor governmental nor non-governmental belgian organisation nor the linux community/open source community and all university students in Belgium are not taking over here.

Q: Heeft er iemand in vlaanderen reeds zo'n OLPC in bezit om eens te testen?
[[Category:Countries/lang-en]]
A: Yes, ja, certainement: Skype SvenAERTS has one and is living in Bxl. In fact.. the good people of OLPC liked my idea posted on the slideshare link above so much, they decided to pay me 5.000€ from march to the next 6 months minimum to develop an entity that's going to unlock this "Kyoto Protocol"/CO2e-Potential of OLPC.

In fact... I'm working in the castle - yes, you're reading this well - that OLPC has been donated by the euphoristic people of SWIFT-the interbanking money transaction provider or something in those lines. They happened to have a castle on their premises they didn't fully use so decided it was a good idea to offer it to OLPC. What can one say to that ! And ... so now my presumably bright idea and big mouth found me working in an office in a castle. If only my friends, parents and wife would actually believe this.

Why don't we first try to make a blog/forum thing so we can easily open discussions with all the (belgian) people who are interested in this matter. We'll have to do some serious research on this (like: who can help us doing what...) before we can go to an administrative organ... Imagine how stupid it would look :)

J'ai la chance d'avoir pu me procurer 9 de ces machines. Je vais en garder une pour mes tests et les 8 autres je les envoie en Inde avec l'organisation suivante pour qui je travaille : http://www.OeuvreDesPains.org
L'idée est de voir dans quelle mesure le XO peut être utile là bas.
