I am sorry to say, but here you are off-topic as well.

Thank you very much for this interesting information. I never heard or 
read something in this respect since N. Negroponte announced the One 
Laptop Per Child project around the year 2005 and perhaps before, 
neither on the websites of the OLPC and Sugar Labs, on the websites of 
the MediaLab, nor in the public media, the magazine Technology Review of 
the MIT, and so on. Could you please sent a link or links, so that I can 
reference the original work correctly?
Are there other persons, who know about it and can help with links?
