XO Liberation Development

Mission

The XOLD is a repair, research, and development group operating out of beautiful Battery Park City in lower Manhattan. Please contact us if you are local and would like assistance repairing your XO, would like to develop software, content, or community relating to OLPC, or would just like to talk.

Resources

The XOLD offers both hardware and expertise. Current accomplishments:

  • Supported a Cambridge-area pilot with a loan of 16 XO-1 laptops.
  • Developed enhanced camera test routines for the XO.
  • Developed an instant snapshot tool which can run as an almost-unnoticeable part of the boot process.
  • Repaired over 60 laptops, mainly with broken clocks.
  • Attached VGA ports to 2 MP-series laptops.
  • Tested SiS USB VGA adapters for compatibility - Success!
  • Established a lending library of XO-1 laptops for developer use and community outreach.

Contact Us

You can reach XOLD at <our founder's username>@yahoo.com, having replaced all 'e's with '3's and having capitalized the first letter. We are not based near Temboo, though we considered renting the loft upstairs from them. We decided that people who misuse words don't make good neighbors
