[OLPC India] India Digest, Vol 23, Issue 11

[Satish Jha]

I am responding to the observations below as it is misleading and factually
totally incorrect.

1: No team has been fired. A couple of people were supporting a certain
project and I hope they are still supporting it. Let me restate- No one has
been fired. It is an inclusive project and everyone's project. However, as
an organization, those who wish to officially function with the
organization, have to work within the framework and guidelines that support
the mission, objective and the goals of the organization. And no one who has
been working with OLPC India has said they will not work within that
framework.

2: I do not know about any website that was started so far. I checked
following some emails earlier and I do not know who owns a site that has
been in construction for some time and why was it started or why was it not
completed. In any case that will not be the official website of the
organization unless we are informed about it and its management is with the
OLPC India organization.

I notice a belligerence in the emails of the gentleman writing below rather
than a desire to understand issues. I do not want to respond to opinions
that have little factual basis.

I will be glad to inform anyone who is keen to understand, has issues to be
resolved, has leads that need support and has anything positive to offer in
terms of suggestions, resources, funds or anything that relates to OLPC
India.
