Why Australian trials are important to the OLPC vision
Pia’s gone and done a five point explanation as to why OLPC trials in Australia are important. First, the need.

Second, it helps free up money for similar projects in a tricky kind of way. Third, the strong community support around the project can be capitalised on, not just for Australia’s sake. Fourth, it will give us city slickers a chance to connect with people and knowledge that has previously been unshared. And fifth, again because of Australia’s uniqueness, remote training lessons can be learned here.
