Belgium Grouped Order of Laptops
Intro Belgium Grouped Order of Laptops
The group order is minimum of one 40 foot container, containing 6.000 XO laptops. The group order will be passed to OLPC in following steps:
- A group takes the initiative to write the conditions for the order, e.g. where the container will be sent to and where the people can come collect their XO. Shipping companies who own the container that will be used to ship the 6.000 XO's, allow the container to stay for about 4 days on 1 site, where you can allow people to come collect their XO. During these 4 days, the group makes sure someone is on site to allow people to come collect their XO.
- People will be invited to list the number of XO's they want to order and their contact details
- Once the number of 6.000 candidate buyers is attaigned, the group will take the initiative to open an account to gather all the money from the candidate buyers. The payment details serve as signature.
- The request for an order is sent to OLPC and after approval the money is transferred. If the order is not honored by OLPC, the organisation will communicate this to the candidate buyers and eventually return their money or look to fulfill the additional conditions imposed by OLPC.

- Where will the container arrive? Brussels exact adress is not yet known.
- Why Brussels? We hope to attaign not only people living in Belgium, but rather in a larger region around Brussels: Paris, Köln, London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp are within an hour or two of Brussels by High Speed Train. Brussels is the Capital Region for certainly Western Europe if not the EU-25. Brussels is a central point for a densily populated region around it and in a region referred to as the Blue Banana. The Blue Banana holds about 70% of the muscle power of Western Europe and stretches from the Par of Ireland, West Midlands, London, Antwerp and the Schelde River and Albert Channel (used to rebuild Western Europe after the second World War, Rotterdam, the Rhine River, following the Rhine, over the Grand Duché of Luxembourg, Switserland and curving down to North Italy. Further Brussels has a seaharbor, customs transit zone, so the container can be unloaded there. Brussels is easy to reach by car, high speed train, possibly people can combine it with a visit to this UNESCO World Heritage town or an EU or High Level event that's relevant to them, e.g. GreenWeek, the EU Sustainable Development Days, the EU Sustainable Energy Week.
