[OLPC-Philippines] DLSU & OLPC Philippines

[Marife Mago]

Hi Solomon,

You're pretty much welcome! Hope your students can get started with the
information enlisted by Cherry.  And we look forward for more collaboration
on your end as we start the organization.

I've worked with Miss Ethel and Paul Inventado before on Open Source
Software Development (as DLSU elective) so I believe we can really pull out
something to collaborate on this especially on educational content and XO
activities that are suited for Filipino children.

Cheers,
Mafe
