Hello. I'm David - ThatSeattleGuy.

In case you've read one of my articles or edits on the OLPC wiki, and have come here to ask a question or get more information, I'm sorry to have to disappoint you: I'm not only just a lowly volunteer, I'm one with absolutely no access to any official OLPC information. I've never even talked to someone at OLPC (though I'm working on that), and have no internal access to their websites, ordering systems, or staff.

I do have a background in business database and order fulfillment systems, and I have numbered among my clients a major mail-order shipper whose daily volume was in the 10,000-20,000 unit range, so I do know a little about the design of sucessful order processing, shipping, and customer service back-office systems.

Everything I've written on the wiki has come out of my own expertise and what I've learned from reading and participating in online forums related to the OLPC program.

If you'd like to contact me, feel free to email: thatseattleguy <at> gmail <dotcom>. Thanks.
