[OLPC New Zealand] Auckland Testing Summary 6 July 2013

[David Farning]

Yes.

Several years ago Activity Central and OLPC Australia partnered to
develop Dextrose. For marketing purposes OLPC-AU then re-branded
Dextrose as XO System. During the recent restructuring at OLPC-AU
decided not to continue the partnership.

I suggested and fully support this decision. AC's purpose is to help
deployments who chose not to emphasize building internal development
capacity. If/when they are confidant with their own development
capacity there is _zero_lock_in_ on a the side of AC or Dextrose. All
of Dextrose code and graphics is freely reusable.

We are here if you need us.

Best wishes to all on a successful XO System rollout.
