</div>I'm not in that part of OLPC, I'm in engineering and manufacturing<br>
support. As far as I know, you can still order new XO laptops if you<br>
have a large enough quantity in mind. Any organisations wishing to<br>
get a quote can write to <a href="mailto:countries@laptop.org" target="_blank">countries@laptop.org</a>.<br>
<br>
I may be misguided, but I didn't think Sugar Labs wants to buy any XO<br>
laptops. ;-) I think developers have enough XO laptops to work on, or<br>
can share them around.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>For the record what I was saying is that the XO is a dead end because OLPC is not marketing it anymore, in favor of the Android tablet. As a result I'd expect organizations to not be ordering it anymore.<br>
