Selamat Siang,

Please excuse my reply in English

       1.Is OLPC? Who owns the rights on behalf of OLPC? An NGO? atauperusahaan computer hardware?

OLPC is a not for profit organisation, originating from MIT in USA

       2. OLPC how the mechanism works? What kind of relationship between the donor - a computer device - recipient?

OLPC prefers to sell at the government level in 1,000,000s, smaller quantities can be bought but supplies in smaller quantities are unreliable

       3. What about the role of donors? Is there a donor in the form of a company? Anything can donor?

You would generally have to find your own charity to finance purchase, an exception was OLPC Oceania which was given 5000 laptops by OLPC, funded by the G1G1 (give one get one) scheme. Waveplace (waveplace.org) arranged their own charitable funding. The Peru and Uruguay deployments were paid for by their governments

       4. What are the OLPC activities conducted in Indonesia?

Nothing that I know of at the moment.

Tony
