An OLPC Shop could sell a collection of gifts with a low to medium production cost |
|||
but a very significant donation component under a protected brand. |
|||
Obviously the OLPC Shop should be a [[Fundraising_certificate#Certified_OLPC_fundraiser|certified OLPC fundraiser]]. |
|||
== Goodgifts == |
|||
* An OLPC Shop could offer, besides [[XO Giving]], [[XO certificate]]s, [http://goodgifts.org/ good gifts] and [http://www.unicef.org/supply/ Unicef supplies] (e.g. [http://www.unicef.org/supply/kits_flash/schoolinabox/ school-in-a-box]) |
|||
== Other gifts == |
|||
* The OLPC as an e-book reader (possibly without a keyboard and only e-book software). The retail price of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindle Kindle] is $399, which could pay for a second OLPC (as in [[G1G1]]). |
|||
* The OLPC watch - for people who like to look at their "watch" at others with great care. ([[G1G1]]: get one watch, give one laptop) |
|||
* The Wikibooks [http://www.puzzleball.info/ puzzleball] showing children with XO laptops and a Wikibooks and/or OLPC logo. |
|||
* One could cooperate with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LimeWire LimeWire] and allow artists to sell their music through the software, e.g. with 70% of the revenues going into the [[Special Laptop Program]]. (A very plausible connection between "music" and music, one could say, which is also in line with the view that "replicators" {{ref|replicators}} should be charities.) Artists could be given the choice to use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management DRM] or to ask for payment in exchange for a "valid ownership tag" in the file, which would be playable without the tag. {{ref|music}} Musicians could also accept responsibility for creating a major source of distractions for pupils, which could be seen as a reason to promote education (comparable to a voluntary CO<sub>2</sub> emission fee for airline passengers). |

* [http://bookzilla.de/ bookzilla.de] donates the commission (5%) for books bought through the site to the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSF Europe). |

# {{note|replicators}} A badly defined term, of course, and just a view, not the view of anybody specific. |

# {{note|music}} The German band BAP has made a song available for WorldVision {{ExtRef|http://www.worldvision.de/news_niedecken-in-uganda.php|Noh Gulu}}, The German Red Cross distributes a free CD every year before christmas {{ExtRef|http://www.drk.de/tops_2007/1107_herzen_oeffnen/bericht.html|herzen oeffnen}}, together with a money transfer order for donations. |
