[Olpc-open] Give Many?

[Carol Lerche]

I understand that manufacturing units for official OLPC deployments are a
priority, but if GmGm is still a possibility it would be helpful to have
some sort of "order by" schedule.  So if there were going to be a
manufacturing run that incorporated English keyboards, such that an
organization willing to order 100 units @ $300 each could obtain them after
that run, it would be helpful to know that this would be possible if they
ordered by (say) 3 months before that time.  This would allow the
bureaucracy to grind out a timely purchase order, while still being driven
by the needs of the OLPC deployments.
