msgid "missionp2"
msgstr "La individuaj kaj sociaj sekvoj de tiu daŭra monda krizo estas profundaj. La infanoj estas kondamnataj al vivo en malriĉeco kaj izoliĝo ĝuste kiel iliaj gepatroj - ili neniam malkovras kion la kleriĝo povus signifi en iliaj vivoj. Samtempe, iliaj registaroj batalas en la disputo de la rapide evoluanta monda inform-ekonomio, alfrontante vastan kaj urbiĝantan homamason kiu ne kapablas vivteni sin, des malpli kontribui por la socia bonfarto, ĉar mankas al ĝi la ilojn por fari tion."

msgid "missionh2"
msgstr "Estas jam tempo repensi tiun ekvacion."

msgid "missionp3"
msgstr "Se oni konsideras la rimedojn kiujn malriĉaj landoj povas senprobleme direkti al edukado - kelkfoje malpli ol 20 dolaroj jare po infano, kompare al ĉirkaŭ 7500 dolaroj elspezataj por ĉiu infano en Usono - eĉ duobligita aŭ reduobligita landa investo en la tradicia edukado, helpate de eksterlandaj kaj privataj financadoj, ne sufiĉus por solvi la aferon. Cetere, la sperto klare montras ke pligrandigo de la "kutimaj rimedoj" - lernej-konstruado, dungado de instruistoj, aĉetado de libroj kaj ekipaĵoj estas laŭdindaj sed nesufiĉaj respondoj al la problemo porti verajn lern-eblecojn al la vasta nombro da infanoj en la disvolviĝanta mondo."

msgid "missionh3"
msgstr "Fari nenion estas fidinda maniero malevolui."

msgid "missionp4"
msgstr "La plej valora natur-riĉaĵo de iu ajn lando estas la infanaro. Ni kredas ke la disvolviĝanta mondo devas ampleksigi tiun riĉaĵon profitante la denaskajn kapablojn de la infanoj por lernado, kundividado kaj kreado. Nia respondo por tiu defio estas la XO teko-komputilo, por-infana aparato elpensita por "lerni kiel lerni"."

msgid "missionp5"
msgstr "XO enprenas la konstruismajn teoriojn disvolvitaj, en la sesdekaj jaroj, de Profesoro Seymour Papert (kiu nun havas postenon en la Media Lab de MIT), plu ellaboritaj de Alan Kay, kaj poste riĉigitaj per la principioj diskutataj de Nicholas Negroponte en sia verko, <i>Being Digital</i>."

msgid "missionp6"
msgstr "Ĝisfunde kaj vaste provata kaj validata inter iuj el la plej malriĉaj kaj foraj popoloj de sur la Tero, konstruismo emfazas tion kion Papert nomas "lerni kiel lerni" kiel la fundamentan edukan travivaĵon. Komputilo sole nur favoras lerni kiel lerni pro tio ke ĝi ebligas al infanoj "pensi pri la pensado" en maniero kiu estus neebla per aliaj rimedoj. XO utilas samtempe kiel fenestro al la mondo kaj kiel tute-programebla ilo por esplori ĝin> Tiel malfermiĝos al la infanoj en disvolviĝantaj landoj ne nur senlimaj konoj, sed ankaŭ iliaj propraj kreaj kaj problem-solvaj kapabloj."

msgid "missionp7"
msgstr "OLPC ne estas, en sia esenco, teknologia programo, nek produkto en la ordinara senco de la vorto. OLPC estas neprofitcela organizaĵo kiu provizas rimedon por atingi celon - celo kiu antaŭvidas ke eĉ infanoj en la plej foraj regionoj de la globo povas havi la eblon disvolvi siajn proprajn kapablojn, havi kontakton kun tuta mondo da ideoj, kaj kontribui por pli produktiva kaj sana monda komunumo."

The laptops will have wireless broadband that, among other things, allows them to work as a mesh network; each laptop will be able to talk to its nearest neighbors, creating an ad hoc, local area network. The laptops are designed to be extremely power efficient, enabling the use of innovative power systems (including wind-up)."

msgstr "Why do children in developing nations need laptops?"

msgid "faqa2"
msgstr "Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration."

msgid "faqq3"
msgstr "Why not a desktop computer, or—even better—a recycled desktop machine?"

msgid "faqa3"
msgstr "Desktops are cheaper, but mobility is important, especially with regard to taking the computer home at night. Kids in the developing world need the newest technology, especially really rugged hardware and innovative software. Recent work with schools in Maine has shown the huge value of using a laptop across all of one's studies, as well as for play. Bringing the laptop home engages the family. In one Cambodian village where we have been working, there is no electricity, thus the laptop is, among other things, the brightest light source in the home."

msgid "faqa3a"
msgstr "Finally, regarding recycled machines: if we estimate 100 million available used desktops, and each one requires only one hour of human attention to refurbish, reload, and handle, that is tens of thousands of work years. Thus, while we definitely encourage the recycling of used computers, it is not the solution for One Laptop per Child."

msgid "faqq4"
msgstr "How is it possible to get the cost so low?"

msgid "faqa4"
msgstr "First, by dramatically lowering the cost of the display. The first-generation machine will have a novel, dual-mode display that represents improvements to the LCD displays commonly found in inexpensive DVD players. These displays can be used in high-resolution black and white in bright sunlight—all at a cost of approximately $35."

msgid "faqa4a"
msgstr "Second, we will get the fat out of the systems. Today's laptops have become obese. Two-thirds of their software is used to manage the other third, which mostly does the same functions nine different ways."

msgid "faqa4b"
msgstr "Third, we will market the laptops in very large numbers (millions), directly to ministries of education, which can distribute them like textbooks."

msgid "faqq5"
msgstr "Why is it important for each child to have a computer? What's wrong with community-access centers?"

msgid "faqa5"
msgstr "One does not think of community pencils-kids have their own. They are tools to think with, sufficiently inexpensive to be used for work and play, drawing, writing, and mathematics. A computer can be the same, but far more powerful. Furthermore, there are many reasons it is important for a child to own something—like a football, doll, or book—not the least of which being that these belongings will be well-maintained through love and care."

msgid "faqq6"
msgstr "What about connectivity? Aren't telecommunications services expensive in the developing world?"

msgid "faqa6"
msgstr "When these machines pop out of the box, they will make a mesh network of their own, peer-to-peer. This is something initially developed at MIT and the Media Lab. We are also exploring ways to connect them to the backbone of the Internet at very low cost."

msgid "faqq7"
msgstr "What can a $1000 laptop do that the $100 version cannot?"

msgid "faqa7"
msgstr "Not much. The plan is for the XO to do almost everything. What it will not do is store a massive amount of data—but it will have network access to a server that can."

msgid "faqq8"
msgstr "How will these be marketed?"

msgid "faqa8"
msgstr "The laptops will be sold to governments and issued to children by schools on a basis of one laptop per child. We have been in discussion with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Central America, Ethiopia, Libya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Pakistan, and Thailand. An additional, modest allocation of machines will be used to seed developer communities in a number of other countries. A commercial version of the machine will be explored in 2008."

msgid "faqq9"
msgstr "When do you anticipate these laptops reaching the market? What do you see as the biggest hurdles?"

msgid "faqa9"
msgstr "Our schedule is to have units ready for shipment by mid 2007. Manufacturing will begin when 5 to 10 million machines have been ordered and paid for in advance."

msgid "faqa9a"
msgstr "The biggest hurdle will be manufacturing 100 million of anything. This is not just a supply-chain problem, but also a design problem. The scale is daunting, but I find myself amazed at what some companies are proposing to us. It feels as though at least half the problems are being solved by mere resolve."

msgid "faqq10"
msgstr "Who is the original design manufacturer (ODM) of the XO?"

msgid "faqa10"
msgstr "Quanta Computer Inc. of Taiwan has been chosen as the original design manufacturer (ODM) for the XO project. The decision was made after the board reviewed bids from several possible manufacturing companies."

msgid "faqa10a"
msgstr "Quanta Computer Inc. was founded in 1988 in Taiwan. With over US $10 billion in sales, Quanta is the world's largest manufacturer of laptop PCs; the company also manufactures mobile phones, LCD TVs, and servers and storage products. In addition, Quanta recently opened a new US $200 million R&D center, Quanta R&D Complex (QRDC), in Taiwan. The facility, which opened in Q3 of 2005, has 2.2 million square feet of floor space, and a capacity to house up to 7,000 engineers."

msgid "faqq11"
msgstr "How will this initiative be structured?"

msgid "faqa11"
msgstr "The XO is being developed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a Delaware-based, non-profit organization created by faculty members from the MIT Media Lab to design, manufacture, and distribute laptops that are sufficiently inexpensive to provide every child in the world access to knowledge and modern forms of education. OLPC is based on constructionist theories of learning pioneered by Seymour Papert and later Alan Kay, as well as the principles expressed in Nicholas Negroponte's book <i>Being Digital</i>. The corporate members are Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Brightstar, Chi Lin, eBay, Google, Marvell, News Corporation, Nortel, Quanta, Red Hat, and SES Astra."
