... and thanks for visiting the Belgian "OLPC" Wiki-Pages, for the One Laptop Per Child Universal Primary Education project. This is an "Open Commmunity" project, similar to the Wikipedia and Open Source Community projects, like Linux, OpenOffice, etc.

It's aim is to bring Universal Primary Education by 2015 as - anno year 2000 initiated - United Nations Millennium Development Goal nr.2. For this and above approach, - and also a lot of lobbying by the right persons on the right places and time - the United Nations is a Partner in this Open Community project! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever... and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there ... and things are moving very fast indeed: over 86.000 eBooks available, all education disciplines covered, 2008 saw the first 3 developing countries with full coverage, i.e. with all kids age 5 to 12 equipped with these smallest schools in a box-laptops.

This is a multi-disciplinary project ... so whoever you are, wherever you are, whenever you are ... if you have time, energy, knowledge, skills you want to put to the project ... it is much appreciated and that's how the project advances. If nobody does anything... the project doesn't advance.

Looking forward seeing you on the internet (use the "search" on the left irc/mailing lists/...), or life !
