[OLPC India] cow power

[Arjun Sarwal]

Moz,

I was a volunteer at the India pilot project.

While I, with great support from the team at Mumbai was able to design
the complete thing, due to time constraints I was only able to oversee
half of the implementation.

Because the OLPC India team at Mumbai is a small team and is currently
swamped with work regarding the spread of the OLPC program in India,
they dont have time or manpower to oversee this project , though they
are tremendously supportive of the project.

If you or someone else close to Mumbai  , could volunteer to complete
it, it'd really be great.  I hear people in Peru and other deployments
have also started to look towards Cow Power as a possible power
solution to charge the XOs. If this one prototype can be successfully
implemented at Khairat, it could mean a lot of positive things for
power solutions in general for XO deployments all around the world.


Thank you for your interest and support.

Regards,
Arjun
