== NEWS == |
|||
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. |

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.). |

|||
The best way to contact you (wiki, email, &c) |
|||
When answering, 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? |
|||
Indicate how many laptops, and what power supply or keyboard would be most appropriate, if relevant. |

==== Software Defined Radio ==== |
|||
Project name: Software Defined Radio |
|||
Projekt proposer: Thomas Kleffel |
|||
Other contributors: - |
|||
Project audience or impact: OLPC could be used as shortwave data/audio receiver in remote areas |
|||
Project description and relevant experience: |
|||
The basic Idea would be to attach a cheap SDR design to the OLPC. |
|||
USB and/or audio line in would be good for that. |
|||
Such hardware is already available, for example [[http://www.amqrp.org/kits/softrock40/]], [[http://www.andreadrian.de/sdr/]], [[http://www.b-kainka.de/sdrusb.html]]. |
|||
While the OLPC doesn't have enough processing power to support sophisticated digital |
|||
modulation like COFDM it will probably work for narrow band data transmission like PSK31. |
|||
Need for laptops: 1 |
|||

Project name: GSM 4 XO |
|||
Project proposer: Olaf Emcke |
