Quote from derStandard.at, Shuttleworth on OLPC
This article got Slash-dotted today. I'm just excerpting the tiny OLPC reference, in this interview with Mark Shuttleworth (although I read the whole article). http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/04/17/1924225 http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=2845484 === derStandard.at: What's your take on the One Laptop per Child-project? Mark Shuttleworth: I think it's a really beautiful project and I'm very supportive of the work, they are doing some great innovations in there. I expect that some of the countries that will go down that road will choose Ubuntu and if they do that, we would help them to make Ubuntu work very well on that platform. At this stage obviously everyone is waiting to see how it will pan out, my own sensing is, that it's already a triumphant success in terms of shaking up the industry and getting the industry to think about both new technologies and new markets. But I fear that people may judge it harshly if they don't actually produce the laptop for a 100 Dollars and unfortunately it looks like that is unlikely at this stage. === Kirby
