<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a lot for your message. I am sure we'll do miracle through integration of laptops into ecotourism and alleviating poverty. Please, update as to context of the 'proof of concept' since I guess concept is the sine qua non condition for reaching goals of any project. </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>Dear Jean<BR><BR>Thank you for your email. I am certain that there are ways in which<BR>the two projects I am working on can help.<BR><BR>Although 'Madagascar on Gaia' has an ecological theme it will also<BR>show ways of life - village scenes, nature that could include the<BR>school involved in the OLPC Madagascar project.<BR><BR>My co-worker who is helping to build 'Madagascar on Gaia' is French<BR>and she has a number of work contacts in Madagascar through her work<BR>connections. We are thinking that we could use the Openlife Grid ( the<BR>virtual world in which we are buidling 'Madagascar on Gaia') to use a<BR>showcase to the world of the environmental and ecology themes. But it<BR>could go further - promoting ecotourism in MG, even local MG<BR>organisations being present on 'Madagascar on Gaia' ( Openlife has an<BR>economy, so it is possible to use it for collecting money for<BR>charities, or even a
simple form of e-commerce for local fund raising<BR>projects - all of this could be possible )<BR><BR>For the OLPC MG project we are thinking of reconstructing the school<BR>that will receive the XOs on 'Madagascar on Gaia' so that visitors<BR>could actually walk around the school in virtual reality, as if they<BR>were actually there.<BR><BR>OLPC Openlife is actually a separate project - created more as a<BR>'proof of concept' that allows us to demonstrate that, with a good<BR>internet connection, groups of people ( eg in Paris and in Madagascar<BR>or anywhere in the real world ) meeting in a virtual world to interact<BR><BR>The first step is probably using some photographs from the project<BR>which we can use to build into 'Madagascar on Gaia', then using<BR>photos of the school, try to reconstruct the school building in<BR>'Madagascar on Gaia' and we shall work on those first.<BR><BR>Best wishes<BR><BR>David Paul<BR><BR><BR><BR>On
