Sankarshan,<br><br>As far as I can see, your point about the community seems to be the current thinking within the OLPC organization. The content needs be developed by the community and those who believe in its value.<br><br><div>Sincerely,<BR>

There are times when I am asked to<br>> talk about FOSS/Education or, Contributing to FOSS and so forth and, I<br>> generally end up using my experiences of contributing to OLPC/Sugar.<br>> The analogy which Saurabh puts out makes it difficult for me to<br>> continue to use OLPC or, OLPC efforts in India during my talks.<br>> <br>> The analogy is fine for business, but in case of OLPC (in India) there<br>> is the added factor of crowd-sourcing and community. If there was some<br>> public discussions behind the decision which brought out the analogy,<br>> it would have been appreciated.<br>> <br>> I would like to suggest that you maintain a landing page on the<br>> internet with the contact details etc clearly marked out. I may have<br>> missed a previous posting of such an URL in which I case I apologize.<br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> sankarshan mukhopadhyay<br>> <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> India mailing list<br>> India@lists.laptop.org<br>> http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/india<br> </body>
