Would you be interested in hearing about the New Sugar Labs project,
Replacing Textbooks? I should be able to get to Chicago sometime.

Computers with Open Education Resources cost much less than textbooks
in developed countries, making an OLPC project require a negative
investment after a fairly brief startup period while we create the
OERs for all subjects, at all ages or grade levels, for every country,
in every language needed. Anyone can assist.
