Welkom-Bienvenue-Wilkommen
Heeft er iemand in vlaanderen reeds zo'n OLPC in bezit om eens te testen?
My name is Skype: SvenAERTS, I'm a "Kyoto Protocol" Consultant and offical Youth Trainer at the European Union (google: salto youth database) and have priveledge welcoming you to the OLPC-Belgium page. Please join the Belgian OLPC team ! Add content, add pages, ... team up with the rest of the world.
Hint: use the search function on the left at the top of this website, e.g. to find out about people's background. I'm very amazed no IT teacher nor governmental nor non-governmental belgian organisation nor the linux community/open source community and all university students in Belgium are not taking over here.
I've posted an idea/strategy to open up the OLPC education initiative, by combining it with the Millennium Development Goals and the financial power behind the Kyoto Protocol: http://www.slideshare.net/SvenAERTS/olp-csmall

Hi, I'm wondering if any Belgians out there are interested in buying one of these machines?

I'm very interested in buying one of them. Any clues to get one? Martijn
Why don't we first try to make a blog/forum thing so we can easily open discussions with all the (belgian) people who are interested in this matter. We'll have to do some serious research on this (like: who can help us doing what...) before we can go to an administrative organ... Imagine how stupid it would look :)
J'ai la chance d'avoir pu me procurer 9 de ces machines. Je vais en garder une pour mes tests et les 8 autres je les envoie en Inde avec l'organisation suivante pour qui je travaille : http://www.OeuvreDesPains.org L'idée est de voir dans quelle mesure le XO peut être utile là bas.

Will try and contact the dutch folks who have a repair centre. Is there anyone in belgium who has a unit ans can we meet up? My email is pieterjan (at) daar (punt) be
