The first pilots in Dutch Schools have started in November 2008. Two schools in Maastricht twinning with 1 school in Nicaragua. More pilots are in development, also for visual impaired, dyslectic pupils, teleconsultation etc. See http://www.openwijs.nl/een-laptop-per-leerling-olpc. The not-for-profit foundation OpenWijs.nl is established to promote the concept of OLPC, to manage projects based on this educational concept and to broaden this concept to other target groups and regions. This foundation is not part of OLPC NL (grassroots group OLPC the Netherlands) but the people in the foundation are "member" of this group. If you want to start a project (in the Netherlands or abroad) or would like to order one or more XO's to test for your school, feel free to contact us.
Marten Vijn has also some experience with the use of the XO in Dutch primary education. See www.martenvijn.nl
Harrie Vollaard has a lot of experience due to the pilots in Russia, Mongolia and Nepal. See http://metersmakenvoormillennium.nl
