Requests 1 or 2 XO-1.5s
over undetermined months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
To continue to create
well-tested and well-designed
activities.<br>
Currently we create
activities that contain no
text so they are<br>
truly international. We
also aim for the simplest
possible user<br>
interface. You can see the
current list here:<br>

<br>
Further we are planning to
add collaborative features to
future<br>
activities and maybe also
to some existing ones.<br>

Requests 2 XOs and 9 months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
- Provide no-cost to
low-cost repairs,
customization and
refurbishment<br>
services to OLPC laptops
worldwide.<br>

new documentation for the XO
Laptop.<br>
- Maintain a collection of
parts and units, publishing
public info<br>
on inventory for repairs
centers/others worldwide.<br>
- Empower the child by
teaching them how to repair
their<br>
laptops and replace
parts, through videos and
hands on<br>
workshops and
conferences. We haven't fully
developed<br>
this idea, but what is
there will be found on the
website.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
This request is for 2 of
the new XO-1.75 machines for
two purposes:<br>
1) To help test the new
machines and their software.
The reason 2 machines<br>
are requested is to be
able to test collaboration
between XO-1.75s and<br>
between them and the
older XO-1s and XO-1.5s<br>
2) To add the latest
hardware to the Roadshow<br>

Requests 4 XOs for 12
months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
The Graduate Computer
Science program at San
Francisco State<br>
University requires the
completion of a thesis. The
topic to be<br>
investigated regards the
deployment of VoIP using
wireless networks in<br>
resource constrained
environments (unreliable
networks, low<br>
performance computers,
etc...). The XO has been
chosen as a major<br>
hardware for investigation
and testing as it is mainly
designed to<br>
suit such environments. The
main objective is to determine
the various<br>
factors that affect VoIP
performance and to research
the ways in which<br>
enhancements can be made.
The ultimate goal will be to
come up with a<br>
VoIP software, deployed on
the XO, that could provide
major<br>
improvements on various
performance issues.</div>
