<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> </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>

"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
