[OLPC India] Collaboration with neighbors for Give Many OLPCs

[Andreas.Trawoeger at wgkk.at]

Hi Ajay!

We will probably get some laptops as part of the planned Austrian OLPC 
Pilot (http://www.olpcaustria.org).
But if you plan a larger Give Many Order we could try to organize a 
worldwide  OLPC grassroot groups order (have you joined 
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots already?)

Another great idea could be to set up our own jabber server 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Run_your_own_jabber_server) to be able to mesh 
between all the XOs distributed trough the Give One or Give Many programm.

One of my long time goals is to interconnect pupils from different 
continents and that would be a step into the right direction.


Good luck and thanks for you efforts,

cu andreas
