[IAEP] XO alumni become code developers

[Yama Ploskonka]

Let me stand up and rejoice that nowadays you need several hands to 
count XO alumni that went on to write code!

Photographic evidence in the link that Flavio shares

Flavio Danesse has been one of the "game changers" in this, mentoring a 
few at first, and now many more.

Kids mostly use School-issued Classmates running Ubuntu nowadays, as XOs 
are given only to Elementary School kids in UY, and the Classmates are 
not blocked as the XOs are.



personally for me this means that I need no longer worry so much about 
getting MSP430 to work on XOs or Sugar, as between Nell from OLPC and 
other developments in the field , the platform is moving.
