    Sameer,

    I have been involved with OLPC and OLPC India for more than over a year, right from the initial pilot to all developments that keep happening regularly...

    I have also heard the name Satish Jha for the first time! :-)
    And my guess is that many people at Mumbai have so too.....though I am not sure.

    regards
    Arjun

      Hi Amit, Navin and others closer to the organization,

      I came across an article
      (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Business/India_Business/Anil_may_join_One_Laptop_Per_Child_project/articleshow/3292263.cms)
      mentioning "Satish Jha", yet another name I am unfamiliar with. It would
      be great if we could get a glimpse of the people involved in OLPC India,
      their roles and responsibilities. We are in a similar situation as the
      rest of this project - there is the official organization, and then
      there are volunteers, and the two don't think or work in similar ways.
      See Kim Quirk's posting on this "disconnect".

      Something simple such as intros about these people or an org chart will do.
