Check back this site often! You will need to fill in more details and an '''official submission''' again later. For now it is ok to collect information project descriptions below.
This will change as we move the whole thing into a DB.


== Who? ==

The [[community]] of OLPC contributors includes many people working on
* outreach,
* testing,
* usability,
* content and
* software development, and
* hardware development and hacking,
which are improved by access to laptops. Software and hardware developers have long been able to get laptops through the [[Developers program|software developers program]]; we are opening this process up to all projects from the community aimed at furthering OLPC's mission.


== Contributors laptop program ==

To apply for laptops for your project or proposal, please add a brief project description below, and list the contributors and participants working on the project, and how laptops would be helpful. Indicate any relevant experience or collaborations (Sugar emulation, education, usability and interface design, work with children; research partnerships, school partnerships, &c.).

=== Application for XOs ===

Use of laptops to further the project:

For the last question, consider:
* Have you tried emulation for this purpose?
* Could you use laptops for a limited time borrowed from a local community pool of machines?
* Similarly, would other projects be able to share these laptops, or would they be in constant use?

=== Current applications ===
