msgid "missiondescription"
msgstr "Aproape 2 miliarde de copii din ţările mai puţin dezvoltate sunt educaţi inadecvat. Este timpul să remediem situaţia, având în vedere resursele limitate pe care ţările mai puţin dezvoltate le pot aloca educaţiei."

msgid "missionkeywords"
msgstr "OLPC, Un laptop pentru fiecare copil, laptop, educatie, saracie, izolarea copiilor, invatare, scoli, profesori, carti, echipament pentru scoli, tari in curs de dezvoltare, calculator, cunoastere, potential."

msgid "missionp1"
msgstr "Majoritatea celor aproape două miliarde de copii în ţările mai puţin dezvoltate sunt educaţi indecvat sau nu primesc educaţie deloc. Unul din trei nu termină clasa a V-a."

msgid "missionp2"
msgstr "Consecinţele individuale şi sociale ale acestei crize globale sunt profunde. Copiii sunt condamnaţi la sărăcie şi izolare la fel ca şi părinţii lor, neştiind niciodată ce ar putea însemna lumina cunoaşterii pentru viaţa lor. În acelaşi timp, guvernele lor luptă să concureze într-o lume care evoluează din ce în ce mai repede, într-o economie bazată pe informaţie, îngreunate de o clasă din ce în ce mai mare care nu se poate susţine, cu atât mai puţin să contribuie la binele general, pentru ca îi lipsesc posibilităţile."

msgid "missionh2"
msgstr "Este timpul să remediem situaţia."

msgid "missionp3"
msgstr "Având în vedere că ţările mai puţin dezvoltate pot aloca câteodată mai puţin de 20USD/an/copil, comparativ cu aproximativ 7500USD/an/copil cât se cheltuie în SUA, chiar şi un efort dublu sau triplu, ajutat de surse externe şi private nu ar rezolva problema. Mai mult chiar, experienţa arată că mai multe şcoli, profesori, cărţi şi echipamente constituie un efort lăudabil dar insuficient la problema de a aduce cunoaşterea la un număr cât mai mare de copii."

msgid "missionh3"
msgstr "statul pe loc este o cale sigură de regres."

msgid "missionp4"
msgstr "Cea mai preţioasă resursă naturală a unei naţiuni sunt copiii. Noi credem că ţările mai puţin dezvoltate ar trebui să aprecieze această resursă folosind capacitatea naturală a copiilor de a învăţa, a împărţi şi a creea. Răspunsul nostru la această provocare este laptopul XO, o maşină a copiilor gândită pentru a învăţa să înveţi."

msgid "missionp5"
msgstr "XO este încarnarea teoriei construcţionismului prima dată dezvoltată la MIT Media Lab de profesorul Seymour Papert în anii '60 şi elaborată de Alan Kay, completată de principile descrise de Nicholas Negroponte în cartea sa, <i>Being Digital</i>."

msgid "missionp6"
msgstr "Construcţionismul, care a fost verificat şi validat în unele din cele mai sărace şi izolate populaţii de pe Pământ, accentuează ceea ce Papert numeşte învăţătura de a învăţa ca experienţă fundamentală a educaţiei. Un calculator reuşeşte să concentreze într-un mod unic "învăţarea despre învăţare" permiţând copiilor să se "gândească la gândire", în feluri altfel imposibile. Folosind laptopul XO ca fereastră spre lume şi ca o unealtă programabilă pentru a o explora, copiilor li se va deschide o lume spre cunoştiinţe nelimitate pentru a-şi folosi întreg potenţialul creativ."

msgid "missionp7"
msgstr "OLPC nu este un program tehnic, aşa cum nici XO nu este un produs în sensul convenţional. OLPC este o organizaţie non-profit care are un scop - scopul de a vedea copii din cele mai îndepărtate zone ale globului căpătând ocazia de a-şi dezvolta potenţialul, de a fi expuşi unei întregi lumi de idei şi de a contribui la o lume mai productivă şi mai sănătoasă."

msgstr "Laptops are both a window and a tool: a window into the world and a tool with which to think. They are a wonderful way for all children to learn learning through independent interaction and exploration."

msgid "faqq3"
msgstr "Why not a desktop computer, or—even better—a recycled desktop machine?"

msgid "faqa3"
msgstr "Desktops are cheaper, but mobility is important, especially with regard to taking the computer home at night. Kids in the developing world need the newest technology, especially really rugged hardware and innovative software. Recent work with schools in Maine has shown the huge value of using a laptop across all of one's studies, as well as for play. Bringing the laptop home engages the family. In one Cambodian village where we have been working, there is no electricity, thus the laptop is, among other things, the brightest light source in the home."

msgid "faqa3a"
msgstr "Finally, regarding recycled machines: if we estimate 100 million available used desktops, and each one requires only one hour of human attention to refurbish, reload, and handle, that is tens of thousands of work years. Thus, while we definitely encourage the recycling of used computers, it is not the solution for One Laptop per Child."

msgid "faqq4"
msgstr "How is it possible to get the cost so low?"

msgid "faqa4"
msgstr "First, by dramatically lowering the cost of the display. The first-generation machine will have a novel, dual-mode display that represents improvements to the LCD displays commonly found in inexpensive DVD players. These displays can be used in high-resolution black and white in bright sunlight—all at a cost of approximately $35."

msgid "faqa4a"
msgstr "Second, we will get the fat out of the systems. Today's laptops have become obese. Two-thirds of their software is used to manage the other third, which mostly does the same functions nine different ways."

msgid "faqa4b"
msgstr "Third, we will market the laptops in very large numbers (millions), directly to ministries of education, which can distribute them like textbooks."

msgid "faqq5"
msgstr "Why is it important for each child to have a computer? What's wrong with community-access centers?"

msgid "faqa5"
msgstr "One does not think of community pencils-kids have their own. They are tools to think with, sufficiently inexpensive to be used for work and play, drawing, writing, and mathematics. A computer can be the same, but far more powerful. Furthermore, there are many reasons it is important for a child to own something—like a football, doll, or book—not the least of which being that these belongings will be well-maintained through love and care."

msgid "faqq6"
msgstr "What about connectivity? Aren't telecommunications services expensive in the developing world?"

msgid "faqa6"
msgstr "When these machines pop out of the box, they will make a mesh network of their own, peer-to-peer. This is something initially developed at MIT and the Media Lab. We are also exploring ways to connect them to the backbone of the Internet at very low cost."

msgid "faqq7"
msgstr "What can a $1000 laptop do that the $100 version cannot?"

msgid "faqa7"
msgstr "Not much. The plan is for the XO to do almost everything. What it will not do is store a massive amount of data—but it will have network access to a server that can."

msgid "faqq8"
msgstr "How will these be marketed?"

msgid "faqa8"
msgstr "The laptops will be sold to governments and issued to children by schools on a basis of one laptop per child. We have been in discussion with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Central America, Ethiopia, Libya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Pakistan, and Thailand. An additional, modest allocation of machines will be used to seed developer communities in a number of other countries. A commercial version of the machine will be explored in 2008."

msgid "faqq9"
msgstr "When do you anticipate these laptops reaching the market? What do you see as the biggest hurdles?"

msgid "faqa9"
msgstr "Our schedule is to have units ready for shipment by mid 2007. Manufacturing will begin when 5 to 10 million machines have been ordered and paid for in advance."

msgid "faqa9a"
msgstr "The biggest hurdle will be manufacturing 100 million of anything. This is not just a supply-chain problem, but also a design problem. The scale is daunting, but I find myself amazed at what some companies are proposing to us. It feels as though at least half the problems are being solved by mere resolve."

msgid "faqq10"
msgstr "Who is the original design manufacturer (ODM) of the XO?"

msgid "faqa10"
msgstr "Quanta Computer Inc. of Taiwan has been chosen as the original design manufacturer (ODM) for the XO project. The decision was made after the board reviewed bids from several possible manufacturing companies."

msgid "faqa10a"
msgstr "Quanta Computer Inc. was founded in 1988 in Taiwan. With over US $10 billion in sales, Quanta is the world's largest manufacturer of laptop PCs; the company also manufactures mobile phones, LCD TVs, and servers and storage products. In addition, Quanta recently opened a new US $200 million R&D center, Quanta R&D Complex (QRDC), in Taiwan. The facility, which opened in Q3 of 2005, has 2.2 million square feet of floor space, and a capacity to house up to 7,000 engineers."

msgid "faqq11"
msgstr "How will this initiative be structured?"

msgid "faqa11"
msgstr "The XO is being developed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a Delaware-based, non-profit organization created by faculty members from the MIT Media Lab to design, manufacture, and distribute laptops that are sufficiently inexpensive to provide every child in the world access to knowledge and modern forms of education. OLPC is based on constructionist theories of learning pioneered by Seymour Papert and later Alan Kay, as well as the principles expressed in Nicholas Negroponte's book <i>Being Digital</i>. The corporate members are Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Brightstar, Chi Lin, eBay, Google, Marvell, News Corporation, Nortel, Quanta, Red Hat, and SES Astra."
