so why did you title this post "A bit weird, a bit funky and whole heap of OpenSource"???
Its about the OLPC thing... i click on it expecting some recommendations of good OpenSource software lol... although i already have enough
The OLPC is using Open Source software. I don't know if it is Open Source hardware though.
What groovy little gadgets..! (& a brilliant idea at that)
The thing that gets me though is its ability to use solar energy - now *that* is cool :D
