=== XO-Contest ===
Image:Bild_Olpc_Ondalivre_(1).JPG|
All classes, pupils students, scientists, hackers and geeks are cordially invited to join the XO-competition. The competition consists in the creation of a free choice of written work, which has to stand in connection with the project "One Laptop per Child". By keeping a diary blog and a final publication, this competition should make a substantial contribution of Switzerland to the global development project. Although the written work is accepted from a variety of fields, contributions in the domains of computer science and pedagogy are favored. Further information: http://www.xo-contest.ch

If you are a journalist in Switzerland, please do subscribe to our mailing list and introduce yourself. We would love to give you a demo (e.g. in Bern, or Lausanne; or elsewhere) of the innovative XO laptop, and share some of our enthusiasm with you... and maybe you would like to write about the OLPC movement, the XO education project, and OLPC Switzerland?

OLPC-ch Logo

There are 4 national languages in Switzerland. English (which is not a national language) is probably the best way to reach the largest audience. That is the reason why we publish in English here.


What is OLPC.ch?

The non profit association olpc.ch

In June 2008 the non profit association olpc-ch has been founded. To become a member you have to subscribe to the mailing list and send a mail to the president of the association Michele Notari. A short video about olpc.ch recorded at the Swiss Day of computer science (August, 29th 2008) [Play Video]

  • We use this Wiki (this page and later sub-pages) for collaborative publishing for now
  • We communicate and coordinate on the olpc-ch mailing list [Subscribe]
  • We host files on Google [View]
  • We own the olpc.ch domain name and make it available for OLPC Switzerland initiatives [Whois]


The objectives of olpc.ch

  1. Demonstrate that the concept is worth promoting by using XOs in Switzerland
  2. Show that OLPC is not just a cheap PC for developing countries by using XOs in one of the world's wealthiest countries
  3. Promote the dissemination of XOs in German, French and Italian speaking regions by adapting XOs to these languages.
  4. Promote the programming environment Squeak in the German speaking area by adequate examples and ideas developed in Swiss pedagogic universities and tested in Swiss schools
  5. Emphasize the importance of basic concepts in contrast to product knowledge by using non-commercial hardware and software
  6. Demonstrate the possibilities of digital learning tools to the Swiss education environment

Our Flyer (also Flyer in German as RTF and Flyer in French as PDF) is a handy summary you may find of interest too. More generally speaking, we also aim at participating in the OLPC Europe group, and share the OLPC_Europe/Vision. See also the VIDEO (in French) where Michael Vorburger of OLPC.ch speaks about the XO and OLPC Switzerland. Articles of Association: OLPC-ch.


Who is olpc.ch?

Our mailing list reaches between 50 and 100 people.

Where can I get a XO?

The question most often asked is Where can I get an OLPC-Laptop in Switzerland?

  • Borrow one: olpc.ch hosts four OLPC XO computers. They are used for exhibitions, presentetations, and experimental use. See XO Reservation System for details.
  • Buy one at ebay: You could buy an XO at ebay.com
  • Help us start a pilot program: olpc.ch plans to start an pilot program in Switzerland. When we buy machines for this pilot program we could buy some machines more and resell them in Switzerland
