Subject: [OLPC India] delivery time to India

We don't have a delivery date, as far as I know. To get the lowest
possible manufacturing price, OLPC had to let Quanta and the parts
suppliers schedule production. When Give Many was still working, the
terms were cash in advance, delivery date to be given in a month for
any time in the following year. India should get a better result than
that, but I don't know how much better.

Now that India says it will buy 250,000 XOs, we need to involve
education NGOs and others there.

The delivery time is important, and what about the distribution? Which are
the states to be covered first, and on what basis? Have tie ups been made
with the state govts? What are the terms of agreement etc. Sorry I am
sounding rather inquisitory, but I do genuinely hope that this works out
well in India and goes to children who need them the most...
