<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Bonjour, <br>
<br>
Comme vous le confirmera l'historique des mails ci-dessous, nous sommes
actuellement en discussion pour l'achat de OLPC-XO. Nous sommes en équipe de
chercheurs universitaires réalisant une évaluation d'impact d'un programme de
développement (<a href="http://www.ptfm.net">http://www.ptfm.net</a>) au
Burkina-Faso, au Mali et au Sénégal. Notre objectif est d'utiliser les XO pour
les enquêtes de terrain (12 enquêteurs par pays). Par rapport à des enquêtes
papier, cette option présente plusieurs avantages : gain de temps, amélioratin
de la qualité des données collectées, moindre cout...<br>
<br>
Notre préoccupation avant de confimer notre commande est de vérifier que nous
puissions installer et faire correctement fonctionner sur les XO un logiciel de
saisie des questionnaires.<br>
Nous utilisons généralement Epidata, logiciel libre mais développé pour un
environnement windows. Des responsables d'Epidata m'ont confirmé que Epidata
pouvait fonctionner sous Linux en utilisant l'émulateur wine. Néanmoins, aucun
test n'a été réalisé dans l'environnement Sugar. Notre souhait serait donc de
pouvoir tester l'utilisation d'Epidata (ou d'autres logiciels alternatifs,
éventuellement Base de Open Office) sur les XO. Ce serait également l'occasion
pour nous de nous familiariser avec les XO puisque nous allons devoir former
nos enquêteurs sur leur utilisation.<br>
<br>
Nos délais sont très courts puisque nous souhaitons débuter l'enquête début
avril. En ce sens, si ce test vous semble envisageable, nous souhaiterions le
réaliser le plus rapidemment possible.<br>
<br>
Cordialement, <br>
<br>

Robert, <br>
For us, a good way to make sure that Epidata could run satisfactory with the XO
would be to test it.<br>
It will also be a good way for us to familiarize ourself with the laptop.<br>
In that sence, would it be possible to put us in contact with the french team
of OLPC based in Paris. The idea is to test to install Epidata using Wine
emulator on one of their laptop, I suppose they have some for demonstration.
The deadline are still short, so if this idea is usefull and realistic, the
best would be to meet them at the end of this week or at the beginning of the
next week.<br>

<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
The software is going to be difficult. The XO can run Windows but the it is not
available as a product pending licensing and the identification of a Microsoft
OEM. </span><br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>

Robert, <br>
Thank you for your answer. I'm not sure but the end of your answer on
alternative power seems to be truncated.<br>
<br>
For the data entry solfware and its requirement : <br>
Epidata when installed is about 2,5Mb. It's developped for Windows
(95/98/NT/2000/XP). <br>
Tests for Linux with Wine exists, but the results point out some limitations.<br>
All informations on the software are <a

Robert, <br>
<br>
Thank you for your answer on prices, it's coherent with our planning budgets. We
would like to have more technical details on the OLPC-XO specifications. Some
are available on the wiki but I wish to be sure that the models are exactly the
same that the ones we will get for the surveys. As you already know our delays
are short, and I want to be sure that we will be able to take laptop in hand
until their delivery.<br>
<br>
In that sense I have several questions :<br>
<br>
1. Can you send us the specifications of the hardware. <span style='color:blue'><br>
Please see the attached specification sheet. </span><br>
<br>
2. Concerning the battery, could you indicate us which one, GoldPeak or BYD
(following the wiki) would be installed. And what is the time of discharge in
normal use. <span style='color:blue'><br>
<br>
They would be BYD batteries. Normal is a hard standard given the variability in
field use. However, we would say 4 hours.</span> <br>
<br>
<br>
3. Our objective is to install a data entry software which would be use by the
surveyors, Epidata for example. The standard environment used by the OLPC-XO
seems to be Sugar. Do you think that the installation of Epidata will matter?
And if it's the case, can we easily work in a windows environment, or find an
other data entry software functioning without problems under sugar ? <span
style='color:blue'><br>
What operating systems does it currently run on and what are the hardware
requirements for it? Depending I'll refer you to one of our software engineers
for further suggestions.</span> <br>
<br>
<br>
4. Last but not least, the additional power generator : The fact is that we'll
work in rural villages without any power during at least 8 hours each day. So
we need a peripheral to charge each computer, the best would be to charge
laptop in real time, without switch down the laptop during the charging process
. Before to contact you, we have seen several options : handle crank, yoyo
power generator, foot power generator and solar options. You seem to direct us
toward solar panels. Can you explain us the specification of this option and of
the other (if available for purchase) to be sure to make the right choice. <span
style='color:blue'><br>
Currently only the solar option is available. The panels that we source are 10
watts that are rated to charge in about 3 hrs. They cost $26 plus shipping.
There exist other mechanical and solar solutions in the market place. The is a
significant amount of discussion in the wiki about alternative power. For
starters, please see </span><br>
<br>
Thank you for your answers.<br>
<br>
Yours<br>

<br>
Jean-Louis,</span> <span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
<br>
We can get this started very quickly.</span> <span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
<br>
Immediately, lets get laptops to you for your fieldwork. The laptops would cost
$399 each (inclusive of the ones you are Giving) plus shipping or US $16,758
for the laptops. The solar panels are $26 each + shipping. It would simplify
things if we were sending to one address. I can send payment information when
you are ready.</span> <span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><br>
<br>
Let me know what else I can tell you about this process or OLPC.</span> <span

<br>
<tt>Dear Robert,</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Many thanks first of all to Matt for putting us in touch.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I am copying various colleagues who are participating in the project</tt><br>
<tt>so that they are all in the loop.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>As Matt mentioned, we need 42 of the laptops for survey fieldwork in</tt><br>
<tt>Burkina, Mali and Senegal (with roughly the same numbers being donated</tt><br>
<tt>as well), and we need to make sure that we have enough power: we saw</tt><br>
<tt>your "yoyo generators" on the web, and Matt mentioned solar
panels</tt><br>
<tt>that are adapted to the conditions in the field.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Let me know how we can kickstart the process. I'm really looking</tt><br>
<tt>forward to seeing these machines, and using them for fieldwork ---this</tt><br>
<tt>should make data collection much more efficient in that we will be</tt><br>
<tt>able to eliminate the data-entry phase and reduce errors through</tt><br>
<tt>having surveyors directly enter information into the entry mask.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience, and I</tt><br>
<tt>can call you (on Skype or Skype out, for example) if that is ok with</tt><br>
<tt>you --just let me know when. I am in South Africa right now, but if</tt><br>
<tt>you are in Cambridge MA, we can take advantage of the time difference</tt><br>
<tt>and I can call you when I get out of my conference at the end of the</tt><br>
<tt>working day.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Yours,</tt><br>
<br>
