This is the story of the litte green laptop that could. Meet the faces behind the One Laptop per Child initiative and see what they do every day in the Cambridge, MA office. Sit in on a brainstorming session. And find out what you can do to help.
Who are you?
00:00:00
So my name is Chris Blizzard, I am the lead for One Lap Copperchild inside of Red Hat
00:00:19
and we're here inside of One Cambridge Center which is located right in the middle of Kendall
00:00:23
Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
00:00:28
Really this is sort of the heart of One Lap Copperchild, this is where everybody comes
00:00:31
together to meet, this is where we have our country meetings, it's where a lot of the
00:00:35
software developers work and practically live, it's really the heartbeat of the organization
00:00:39
I think.
00:00:45
The goal of One Lap Copperchild is to use a laptop as a vehicle to transform education
00:00:46
in the developing world.
00:00:54
The vehicle is a $100 laptop because if you can get the price down to $100, all of a sudden
00:00:55
you hit the textbook budget of your average developing world country.
00:01:01
People said we couldn't do it and in record time we got these, we didn't just get prototypes
00:01:09
out the door, we got these things and machines and actually working.
00:01:14
My name is John Palmieri, people know me as J5 in Red Hat.
00:01:18
I work on the LPC team and I am the build master.
00:01:22
You know it's funny, I haven't seen anybody who doesn't gravitate towards this machine.
00:01:27
It takes a little bit of the pain out of travel because you always have such a fun time going
00:01:31
through security lines at the airport, taking out your laptop, so you take out a half a
00:01:35
dozen of these little green machines and people are saying, that's a $100 laptop, I mean they
00:01:39
pretty much recognize it now.
00:01:44
My name is still Walter Bender and I work at One Lap Copperchild.
00:01:46
I guess my official title is President of Software and Content, whatever that means.
00:01:52
Can we transplant the culture of open source software development, which is all about collaboration,
00:02:00
critique, and the tools of collaboration and critique as well, and get the education industry
00:02:07
to adopt them.
00:02:14
The design of the laptops is a really interesting project because, well, it is geared towards
00:02:16
a lot of individuals who haven't had experience working with computers.
00:02:22
It's also designed in such a way that trying to do a lot of new things that haven't really
00:02:26
been done before.
00:02:31
Hi, I'm Eben Eliasson.
00:02:32
I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with theories in art and computer science.
00:02:34
I began in New York working with the Pentagram design team, where I worked on UI design and
00:02:39
some interaction design for the laptops.
00:02:47
So I'm trying to persuade my other half that they're like shoes, and I should be allowed
00:02:49
as many computers in the house as she has pairs of shoes, but it's a tough sell.
00:02:54
I'm Dave Woodhouse.
00:02:59
I work for Red Hat on the RPC project.
00:03:00
I was transferred on the project a year and a half, two years ago, I think.
00:03:05
I spend a lot of time working directly with the hardware guys and making sure everything
00:03:09
works, making sure the physical things work, the screen and the keyboard and the battery
00:03:14
charging and everything like that.
00:03:24
I remember one large computer manufacturer early on looked at my design, and he said,
00:03:25
this requires 20 or 30 miracles, and our rule here is one miracle per product.
00:03:34
And good luck, but we think you need to be more realistic.
00:03:39
I'm Mary Lou Jepson.
00:03:43
I've been working at One Laptop per Child for two years and a little longer, and I am
00:03:45
the chief technology officer.
00:03:52
They're absolutely right.
00:03:54
One miracle per product.
00:03:55
What's different is this isn't a product.
00:03:57
It's not a product at all.
00:03:59
It's a global humanitarian cause, and we're just able to mobilize people in a different
00:04:01
way.
00:04:06
One Laptop sort of represents a blank slate.
00:04:07
You've got millions of users who don't have any backwards compatibility needs.
00:04:09
They don't have any preexisting notions of how computers are supposed to work, and so
00:04:14
you can start new.
00:04:18
My name is Owen Williams.
00:04:19
I'm a volunteer for the OLPC project.
00:04:20
I work on Penguin TV, which is a news feed reader, and I also do some work on the user
00:04:25
interface in general.
00:04:32
I like to imagine poor children using it, and having a tool to get out of, to have more
00:04:34
opportunities that they don't often have.
00:04:41
And so it's a great, it's a wonderful thing to imagine, and I hope that it comes to truth.
00:04:45
Hi, my name is Marcelo Tosachi, and I work for, I live in Brazil, and I work for Red
00:04:53
Hat.
00:04:59
I have been working in the project for six, seven months, and I am developing the driver
00:05:00
for the wireless interface, and working on the mesh networking.
00:05:09
You know, normally the concept of giving kids computers is sort of, you set up a computer
00:05:13
lab with a bunch of Windows machines, and sort of leave it at that.
00:05:17
You know, there's just so many really interesting problems, things like not having reliable
00:05:23
sources of electricity, or not having reliable internet infrastructure, and you know, at
00:05:28
the end of the day, it means that millions and millions of kids are going to get access
00:05:35
to knowledge and tools that they never could have had before.
