    Hi all Squeakers!

    Ok, the Squeak Foundation Board Election 2008 ended 19 minutes ago –
    promptly at 18.00 UTC, 8 March.

    For this year we had 437 authorized voters of which 178 voted, that is
    slightly more than 40% voting – a bit disappointing IMHO since we had
    157 voting of 347 last year which gives above 45%.
    On the other hand 178 is more than 157, so we had more voters and thus a
    growing community, which of course is the most important aspect!

    And without further ado I bring you the board for the following year
    starting from NOW. The order reflects the ranking from the election:

    1. Dan Ingalls
    2. Craig Latta
    3. Bert Freudenberg
    4. Yoshiki Ohshima
    5. Tim Rowledge
    6. Randal L. Schwartz
    7. Igor Stasenko

  • See Bert and OLPC on German TV (in German)

    Bert and Olpc on German TV

    Check out Bert and Olpc on the tagesschau.de. The video is in German. Notice the link on the left “100-Dollar-Laptop” that will take you right to the clip. Feel free to skip the computer salesman’s comments. Who knows where they got this guy from! The project must be looking up if this is the best they can do. It’s like the debate about global warming in the U.S.A. For a long time we’d hear that scientists have reached a global consensus, all except Joe – from the Wyoming Science Club who says global warming doesn’t exist.

    This is a very exciting time for olpc. Congratulations everyone.
