[OLPC-Philippines] G1G1 v2 starts November 2008

[Carlos Nazareno]

Not all of us developers are so affluent as to be able to afford to "Give one".

Can we get in touch with OLPC Main?

Who's our official OLPC Philippines head? Can we do this?

As official OLPC Philippines, we shouldn't have to rely on spending on
a G1G1 program to get our hands on actual units (unless we're to be
the recepients of the "get one" of the G1G1 program -- that would be
fantastic!)

We should get the ball rolling on this one as early as possible.
Getting hands on actual units is a must. Shared units might not be as
optimal, like what happened when bricking occured.
