[OLPC-Philippines] DLSU & OLPC Philippines

[Cherry Withers]

Thank you for your interest and welcome to the group! We're in much need of
developer
support and any contribution is greatly appreciated.

In addition to what Carlos has said, I just want to add that one can start
developing even with lack of the hardware
itself. Here are some links for XO emulators and also Sugar on Stick:

QEMU runs a virtual XO in any machine and is what's mostly used by OLPC
developers:

You can also run Sugar on top of existing OS (Windows Vista currently
unsupported)  through a
USB stick (called "Sugar on a Stick"). Details can be found on this page:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads

Hope this helps. Jerome Gotangco can chime in for additional tech info..

Cheers,
---Cherry
