Here's the vision. Take the best of current laptop technology, strip out the parts that add bloat and weight, develop some cool new alternatives to expensive components, combine it with free software, and wrap everything into a rugged yet handsome package costing around 100 dollars.
Then, when you are done, try to get it into the hands of 100 million or more children in developing countries. That is the dream of One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a nonprofit initiative launched by faculty members at the MIT Media Lab.
The goal: Create a fully functional laptop computer that is inexpensive enough to enable every child in the world to gain access to some of the best educational resources available."

Before they agreed to merge, he said, Network for Good and Groundspring each was working independently with salesforce.com to integrate their products with its database."
