[OLPC Networking] Large area networks and cold temps

[Lorraine Graves]

Hi, 
I have been reading about some of the unexpected challenges in Mongolia and
the difficulties involved in remote debugging where few speak English. I
would like to suggest you consider a school or school district in the
Canadian Artic as a test site, since English is ubiquitous and cold
temperatures abound there.  As well, the population density is low but
well-networked.  We are such a bureaucratic country, so there are lots of
computers up there in government offices, schools and churches.  I think
they might have useful suggestions about some of the issues encountered in
Mongolia. 

If you need the name of a contact teacher, I know of a special ed teacher in
Yellowknife, North West Territories, i.e., North of the 60th parallel, where
they have been having quite a cold snap.

Keep up the good work. Down here in Vancouver, our son loves his XO.  He has
a congenital dysgraphia and this has made all the difference in class.
