The community of OLPC contributors includes many people working on outreach, testing, usability, content and software development, and hardware development and hacking, which are improved by access to laptops. Software and hardware developers have long been able to get laptops through the software developers program; we are opening this process up to all projects from the community aimed at furthering OLPC's mission.

Use of laptops to further the project:

For the last question, consider:

  • Have you tried emulation for this purpose?
  • Could you use laptops for a limited time borrowed from a local community pool of machines?
  • Similarly, would other projects be able to share these laptops, or would they be in constant use?
