OLPC mistakes

Posted by: Anonymous [ip: 127.0.0.1] on January 27, 2008 06:59 PM

A) "we need [the open source community's] participation"

How? If they don't sell OLPC to the community == people

B) OLPC can be selled now to developing country at 100$!

How? Sell OLPC to people at 400$ and have two laptop at obly 100$ for developing country

If OLPC is selled to people:

* more OLPC must be produced

* the OLPC production cost go down

* more OLPC can be buyed by developing country

* more people join the community

* more OLPC programs are build/update

* more developing country will be interested in buying OLPC laptop

Return to OLPC looks ahead with optimism
