Hacking Social hears about One Laptop Per Child
The weekly LUG hacking social, in Dearborn 401, heard from Mike Burns, undergraduate student in computer science. He talked about the One Laptop Per Child project initiated by Nicholas Negroponte and Kofi Annan of the United Nations. Mike demonstrated the motherboard for the proposed system, and some of the software that the system will run. Despite competition from the Senior Dinner, which was taking place at the same time, there was a good crowd. Audience included a writer and photographer from the Oregon Stater, the Alumni publication, so perhaps we will see an article in the near future. As every week, the free Pizza and drinks provided by Google were an added attraction.
