== Groups ==
=== Volunteers needed (posted August 2007) ===
The Malaya OLPC Philippines group is looking for volunteers in the Philippines to assist with technical development. They need:
* Computer scientists
* IT workers
* Volunteers with Linux administration experience
* Sponsors to donate materials and funding to the projects

For immediate response contact Tim: +63 916 - 321 2042 or Email: timhack007 (at) gmail (dat) com


* [[eKindling|eKindling]]
=== Participants for Manila Jam ===
EKindling Incorporated was registered at the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit corporation on May 21, 2010. eKindling continues to collaborate closely with local government units and corporate and individual benefactors on several OLPC deployments. Recently, EKindling was engaged by Procter and Gamble (P&G) as ICT for Education Program Design Provider via P&G's e.Studyante program [http://depedmanila. blogspot.com/2012/03/estudyante-program-2012.html]. These collaborative efforts have inspired similar OLPC initiatives nationwide.
See [[Curriculum Jam Manila]]. There is an upcoming [[Curriculum Jam Manila]] during the first weekend of October 2007. We need organizers, volunteers, participants, and kids to test the lesson plans we come up with - contact [[User:Mchua|Mel Chua]] if you're interested.


* [[PCOLPC|COFP]]
=== Project: Unang Liwanag ===
Formerly the Philippine Collaborators for OLPC (PCOLPC), the group have merged with the CHILD (Children Helping in Information and Learning & Development) OLPC Foundation Philippines (COFP). COFP was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit corporation on August 17, 2009. A key partner of COFP is Stimulus Capital Ideas, a cross border investment group headed by Charles Chen which specialises on Australian investments to the Philippines. A recent project is the partnership with the Kiwanis Club International in a pilot with three public schools in the Antipolo, Rizal province. Current efforts are being made to establish similar projects in other part of the country as well as in other member countries of ASEAN.
This project is the "Pilot Launch" project for OLPC Philippines.


== News ==
This project will be the start of the Pilot Distribution, orders will start from 250 XO machines upto a 100,000 order and then to 250,000.
''List your deployments updates here in Alphabetical order.''


=== eKindling ===
This project will take orders of school upon approval of OLPC and recognition of government to OLPCPH. As noted the price of XO machine will be almost the same. OLPCPH will be the single point of contact and should be the one to have developer key and activation will be done in OLPCPH office. We won't tolerate any black market to occur.


'''Mar 1, 2012''' - Procter & Gamble with e.Studyante's Program at Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School
Estimated deployment time is 6 months to years, starting from approval of government and deployment of OLPC team.

OLPCPH has the following machines and their functions:


* B1 - assigned to Mike Kouklis (we don't have any update from him now)
* B2-1 - assigned for use by a professor Florante S. Iral teaching Education Major Subjects, future spokesperson for school deployment of XO. build 406.15 on NAND, q2c18
* B2-1 - assigned to testing of latest build on NAND and development, Rowen
* B2-1 - assigned for testing with build 406.15 on NAND q2c18
* B4 -assigned for demo and presentation of XO machine, including testing and development, Rowen. build 547 on NAND, q2c18;
* using SD usb card reader - build 406, q2c11 mostly run on B2-1 for quick testing of build
* B4 - assigned to Tim for programming, linux porting and promotion. build 406.15 on NAND, q2c25


Other Machines:

Machine expectation, these machines are hopefully near the production version.
NOTE: OLPCPH does not sell machines unless those requesting body made commitment to order and pay for the XO Machines. OLPCPH will do negotiation to OLPC for deployment of these educational machines. As noted an order of 1000 machine will be considered good but better if it's a 100,000 of it.
* 4 Additional Developer XO Machines' Allocation: (to be received)
- will be assigned to developer group
- will be assigned for mesh/collaboration test and developing activities with collaboration support
- will be assigned to build test and development
- will be assigned to school server image or an online server for developers
* 20 Machines (to be received)
- These machines will be sent to a pilot school.
- These machines will show the importance of XO machine to education
- Feedback will be gathered and how these machines improved education

==Launching==
To be able to launch we have to order 250,000 to 1M XO machines.
[[Philippine launch plan]]

* This launching will be helped by performing demos and giving presentations. OLPC Philippines are hoping for the next 4 more developer machines. These machines will be used for the working groups and designed as accessible hardware for them to access, test, develop their software and will also be sent to them during promotion and OLPC to Government negotiation process.

* Pilot school is under selection and this project is under preparation. 20 XOs will be used by a pilot school soon.
