Requests 2 XO's over 5 months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
Our objectives are, in a first time make Ooo4Kids work well on the
XO,<br>
then discover Sugar in order to sugarize Ooo4Kids. After this, we
will<br>
work on some optimisations with some other goals: make two
improvements<br>
of performances for Ooo4Kids on sugar and two new features on the
user<br>
interface (one per student).<br>
<br>

2. UCSB's Cross-cultural learning activities - California <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45983">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45983</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.olpcsb.com">http://www.olpcsb.com</a><br>
<br>
Requests 10 XO's over 24 months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
<br>
1. We aim to create XO-based activities to integrate into the <br>
California 3rd-grade curriculum (particularly, science, math and <br>
language arts). The goal is to make the XO a continuous learning <br>
resource for use throughout the mid-elementary school curriculum (as <br>
opposed to the use of computers in a specific, time-restricted, <br>
computer lab period).<br>
<br>
2. We aim to use the XOs to establish and nurture an international <br>
peer-exchange program between a California elementary school and an <br>
African elementary school. The goal is to create awareness of the <br>
children’s commonalities and differences, for example, in family <br>
structure, school environment and curriculum, resources,
recreational <br>
interests and future aspirations.<br>

3. New repair center in Innsbruck - Austria<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46165">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46165</a><br>
<br>
Requests 10 XO's (broken OK) over 10 months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
Repair XOs by the rules set up in<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/AlpXO">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/AlpXO</a><br>
<br>
The user will communicate to my new Austrian phonenumber which will<br>
follow soon and to emailaddress: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:AlpXO@unterhauser.name">AlpXO@unterhauser.name</a><br>
<br>
Turnaround expectations:<br>
I plan to be as fast as possible. The repairing part shouldn't be
much<br>
of a problem because I am experienced with computers (SW and HW). As
for<br>
the delivery I have no experience but hope to overcome that knowledge<br>
really soon.<br>
<br>
As a first step will start locally (eastern part of Austria) and if
that<br>
works I will take care of the region in which the Munich and Bolzano<br>
libraries are situated.
