OLPCO2e

This page has a more up-to-date location:

OLPCO2e was an project proposed by Sven Aerts to somehow define digital CO2 certificates that could be earned by investing in green, environmentally friendly laptops such as the XO, rather than traditional power-hungry machines. The proposed project got as far as registering a domain at OLPCO2e.org (which redirects to this page) and setting up a few administrative pages. The project as a whole was not pursued / did not proceed after Sven left OLPC in mid-2009.

Some highlights of the proposed but deprecated idea:

• It was connected variously to the UN goal of Universal Primary Education by 2015, and to other UN programs such as Agenda 21
• An "Animated OLPCO2e Assistant" was discussed and designed
• A Quality Control Panel was developed for the proposal

Sites and groups not controlled by OLPC:

• Separate sites have been set up as an OLPCO2e Virtual/Wiki Office (on a different wiki, closed to editing), a Discussion Group, and a private "Staff & Kernel Team" wiki (unclear what the Kernel team is for).

  Aside from perhaps Giulia D'Amico, no OLPC staff have access to those external sites, and no editors of this wiki other than Giulia and Sven. OLPC have no control over their content... even less than over any page on this wiki :-)
