OLPC Switzerland
There are 4 national languages in Switzerland. English (which is not a national language) is probably the best way to reach the largest audience. That is the reason why we publish in English here.

Where can I get a XO?
The question most often asked is Where can I get an OLPC-Laptop in Switzerland?
- Borrow one: olpc.ch hosts four OLPC XO computers. They are used for exhibitions, presentetations, and experimental use. See XO Reservation System for details.
- Buy one at ebay: You could buy an XO at ebay.com
- Help us start a pilot program: olpc.ch plans to start an pilot program in Switzerland. When we buy machines for this pilot program we could buy some machines more and resell them in Switzerland.

Activities
XO-Contest
All classes, pupils students, scientists, hackers and geeks are cordially invited to join the XO-competition. The competition consists in the creation of a free choice of written work, which has to stand in connection with the project "One Laptop per Child". By keeping a diary blog and a final publication, this competition should make a substantial contribution of Switzerland to the global development project. Although the written work is accepted from a variety of fields, contributions in the domains of computer science and pedagogy are favored. Further information: http://www.xo-contest.ch
