[Döbeli Honegger Beat PHZ Schwyz]

Dear Oliver,

> Last fall I started reading about OLPC and was able to 
> convince my employer to participate in the give many program:
> 
> We purchased 150 laptops for 30'000 USD, 50 of which were 
> sent to our hotel in Sana'a, Yemen, and 50 to Dar es Salaam, 
> Tanzania. The laptops have or are about to clear customs and 
> will be stored in our hotels while the handover is planned. 
> In both countries, the ministry of education has suggested 
> some schools, and two schools per location were selected to 
> receive 25 laptops each.
> 
> The handover to the schools is being planned and I am 
> interested in input on how to best do this.
> 
> Generally I am interested in helping the OLPC initiative.

Wow, I'm happy to hear about your initiative and the generosity of your employer!

There is a draft of a deployment guide at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_Guide

I'll try to contact you by phone...

Greetings
Beat
