About Me

I am a resident of the Southeastern U.S. whose only tangible involvement with the One Laptop Per Child project started when I participated in the Give One, Get One program by donating two computers on Monday, November 12.

I am looking forward to introducing my children to the joys and worries of being beta-testers when they receive their XO's in, + or -, a month. Maybe they'll dip in and out of beta-testing for the rest of their lives....

I am looking forward to seeing how this wiki, and the underlying network of staffers and volunteers who comprise OLPC, will adapt to the more active participation of G1G1 participants. For my own part, I don't see my participation in G1G1 as analogous to ordinary consumption -- I'm not buying two XO's, I'm helping OLPC help the world, and they're acknowledging my help with a reciprocal gift. But it may be the case that not all the other G1G1 participants will see it this way.
