<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi James and Jerome,<br><br>I have no problems adopting a best of breed approach in implementing the OLPC program in the Philippines. On this basis, I have no problems adopting any new ideas we can adopt from the guys at Nintendo on using their DS device for educational purposes. But I will hope everybody understand that we need to stick to the original plan of deploying XOs as the device of choice. <br><br>Moving forward, for me to know what ideas we can consider from using DS for the same purpose, we need volunteers who will act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) to this task. I would like to ask whether you and Jerome can be the SMEs for this purpose.<br><br>Jerome, once I have the foundation registered let's talk whether we can work together with SFC Meralco to do an OLPC school project.<br><br>Marife, I will appreciate if you can help get a contact person
we can use to call and/or email for our procurement of XOs. We will need to know the terms and conditions for a purchase, shipping times and the type of XO models available that will be available for our local needs. Right now I am making arrangements to get our purchases through OLPC Australia but if we can do this directly from OLPC Boston that would be better.<br><br>Mabuhay Ang Sambayanan Pilipino Sa Pagdiriwang Ng Araw ng Kalayan!

The OLPC XO deployment model I am considering for local<br>> school<br>> pilots will all be interactive using USBs to contain the content<br>> to be used<br>> and Sugar as the application to support this. I am not<br>> considering providing<br>> a static option as this will require a printer and all the related<br>> consumables involved to support this. There is also the related<br>> support and<br>> maintenance responsibilities required from the school if this is<br>> provided.<br>> <br>>
I have yet to identify what option will be used to<br>> back-up the files<br>> used other than using a server for this purpose. I would<br>> appreciate your<br>> inputs on the matter.<br>> <br>> Thanks.<br>> <br>> Charles<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>OLPC-Philippines mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:OLPC-Philippines@lists.laptop.org" href="/mc/compose?to=OLPC-Philippines@lists.laptop.org">OLPC-Philippines@lists.laptop.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-philippines"
