I heard from OLPC News and Forum site that one of a freelance education and training consultant using ICT to support initiatives in line with Millennium Development Goals for education and education for sustainable development have been developed and released a new socila web site for OLPC developers and educators. He said that the purpose of this site are (1) To create awareness of OLPC and the XO in an audience unfamiliar with the program
                  (2) To act as a showcase for OLPC and XO activities, supplementing other internet based sources
                  (3) To be a place where people can meet and interact with others in almost realistic ways without geographical constraints.

Frankly,I'm not sure it works properly or not.I'm just informing others to know.If you are not familiar with Virtual world,this short video will show the OLPC life center:

OLPC is to open the capability of children

       First of all,I'm not a technical writer.But...i'm an emotional writer plus little tech knowledge.If you are looking specifically for technology about XO,follow the link and don't read it. Just want to save your time.
        When i was attending the itu youth forum event at Bangkok,we all got one xo laptop per each participants. I guess,firstly,we all might think what this little computer is. small,inefficient and difficult to manage,this laptop is a little weird i feel. After the main session of our forum,they,ITU members arrange a session about introduction of One Laptop Per Child Project.But I'm not that interested about it.But I'm happy because whatever this laptop is good or bad or useful for me,I got it 'FREE'.And at the next day,one lady and a gent(they are XO experts) gave us a guide about this small laptop.after this teaching session,I can use it as an end-user level plus can tell others how to...It includes many functions and useful applications to touch the technology for children whom  live in remote areas and least-developed countries.You can check about this: OLPC Offical site and OLPC information and news.I saw some guys(open source guys and Linux geeks) try to figure out every things about XO.They look very enthusiastic and interested about this.In this point,i want to tell you about the guy from Israel.He is a Linux geek and explain some basic stuffs about Phyton and some-I-don't-know-things about XO. Frankly, I don't know much about open-source technology and strange from Linux environment.Thanks to this guy for lighting up my brain about open source technology. When i came back to my home,I use this Laptop as a e-book reader when the electricity is cut out.(Not a big deal!) And the other time,I put it away to under my study table.But one day, In the middle of reading a comic book,it's freeze and can't shut down.This broking matter make me to feel about XO. To repair this,I surf the net and discuss about it in the forum atOlpc news bogs,news and fourm site .It make me suprise that many technology specialists,XO geeks are a lot of guys than I thought.They think big,idealize and criticize a lot to improve,modify this small laptop to get the best position. Other similar notebook like Asus Android-based-Notebook which cost around 100$.Now,XO geeks are trying to upgrade and modify XO version1 and trial XO version2.Some least-developed countries are started to lauched a triall project for OLPC inititive  to use the computer at schools situated in rural and remote areas. Now,i can imagine that one day,this project gonna be the biggest dream for children.We all need to support this project as much as we can. Childern are "Lack of opportunity,not capability".Share ur thoughts and ideas to reach the mission of OLPC project.

Comments about 11th hour
u know i rarely watch documentary movies.Why? Simple answer:so boring! But this one is the best documentary movie I've ever watched and every human being  should watch,I recommend.This is "the 11th hour" that is produced and narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio. So...what was that movie about? Short way to answer this question is,i think, "relationship between human and nature".In this point, you think "what...human...nature? That's not a big deal." No,it's not that. It's more than that a lot.According to Jeanine Benyus,the author of Biomimicry,She said that"Homosapiens sapiens is an incredibly young species....We came very late in the calendar year of the Earth. The Earth Calendar where it started in January 1 and now we're December 31st.We got here 15 minutes before midnight on December 31st...and all recorded history has blinked by in the last 60 seconds." Now,you can guess why this movie was named "The 11th hour". Dealing with many other environmental topics,this movie might be give you a lot of questions such as "What are we?,What is natural? Does Human kind ever exist in the Earth or Does the Earth exist without us? If the current atmosphere and environment situation change,Can we still live in this planet?, Are we really big customers of the nature?,Does we actually absorb too much on the nature?....There are somemain questions and a lot of follow-up questions provoking

me after this show. One thing I know certain is that we really need to change,save and heal the world.I'm just a novice on these things.I mean I don't know too much  about it and not interested that kind of stuffs.This movie can turn my approach and I know I got the point of the 11th hour. There are many principles and laws existed in the world.Everyone who poor or rich lives among these laws and principles. Give and take is one of the common laws we know.We,humans taking too much from the Earth.Don't you think it's the time to give back somethings  to the Earth.The question is How we should do it. This program also includes some solutions and activites for this one.One thing I finally wanna say is "Watch this movie and feel it"!!
Save the world
Save yourself
Save us all

I'm a happy and funny type but you know,not ever.Actually right now,I feel depressed and can't do things that need to concentrate. I know it's not me. I live alone at the apartment and it's not the problem,i know.I used to it.I love living alone. But now...I feel my life,means my spending life-i have nothing-no real success,no real relationship and no real nothing i had.Damn life! I've been done some weak things like- drinking alcohol,chain-smoking and other stupid stuffs.Sometimes,i write and write.How it called?-a poem,a story?? I named it my confession work.It work sometimes, not always.Feel like my life falling apart from the somewhere higher to the ground and hit and then turn into pieces.
I can't clear why I feel depressed now?
So,I post it.
Feel a little better..or not
Who cares?
