<div>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...</div>

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

mentioning "Satish Jha", yet another name I am unfamiliar with. It would<br>be great if we could get a glimpse of the people involved in OLPC India,<br>their roles and responsibilities. We are in a similar situation as the<br>
rest of this project - there is the official organization, and then<br>there are volunteers, and the two don't think or work in similar ways.<br>See Kim Quirk's posting on this "disconnect".<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-July/016026.html" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-July/016026.html</a><br>
