[Olpc-open] OLPC in South Africa, eThekwini

[Dirk Coetsee]

Hi there,

I am trying to get an "Open Learning" Project going in the South African
region of eThekwini in conjunction with the local University where I work.

We are still trying to arrange funding, generate content and run trials.
However, on a related note, we are setting up a WiFi network and trying to
provide access to this network through low cost netbooks.

We are trying two things:

(1) I would like a procure some OLPC's for testing on the pilot network. How
can I do this?
(2) We are trying to design a very cheap netbook (like the OLPC, but for
adults) locally to help lower/middle income groups tap into the WiFi net. I
am very interested in using OLPC/Pixel Qi's technology for this project and
I would like to collaborate with them on our design.

Any assistance you can provide me will be most appreicated.

Sincerely
Dirk Coetsee
