B. fischeri multituberculatum: Impromptu WUaS talk at One Laptop per Child gathering in SF, WUaS OLPC page with references, Computers for Poor Kids

Gave an impromptu WUaS presentation at One Laptop per Child gathering on Market Street in SF yesterday.


Here's the WUaS OLPC page, with some discussion of OLPC in 'References' -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child_-_XO_Laptop_-_$100_Laptop_-_MIT

- page name will shorten, (because OLPC is neither a $100 laptop, nor associated with MIT, although it is a 'spin off').

They continue to deploy green and white computers in very poor countries - cool - around the world.

Here are some of the main OLPC countries (I think there are 14):
