Its good OLPC Boston was able to send you 3 XO for your needs. Between us we now have 4 XOs. I am still in discussion with OLPC Australia on getting 150 XOs for the school pilot with Don Bosco. <br></span></font></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><font size="2" color="#0000ff" face="Arial"><span class="763055422-22092008">OLPC FOUNDATION. I suggest given each person's skills
and interest we let everybody contribute to OLPC based on what he is good at.
</span></font><font size="2" color="#0000ff" face="Arial"><span class="763055422-22092008">If you and other members have the skills and interest
in developing the needed application requirements for OLPC then you should
continue on doing this. Willie and I come from business and
project management background, so the way we can contribute is by planning
and managing our school pilot with Don Bosco. And the way we will do this is by forming the
OLPC Foundation so that we will have a legal entity to raise donations to fund
these activities, hire the needed people to manage full time these activities
and help create and promote a higher profile for OLPC.</span></font></div>
