<span style="font-size:small">OLPC's efforts involve independent pilot projects and larger government-supported efforts. So we would have to 'get the word out' to the various groups and see who needs equipment and the logistics of getting it from 'point A' to 'point B'. There are people in various parts of Africa, South America,
India, </span><span style="font-size:small">Australia</span><span style="font-size:small">, etc. who might be interested. Some might need power strips, WAPs, Hubs, etc.</span></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div>
<br></div><div>It seems that logistics might have been solved by a friend of mine, but it all depends on what stuff to send, and where...</div><div>So if you hear about any pilot project in the need of network equipment, drop me a line, or drop them a line and tell them about me.</div>
