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' -

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):
