  • Summer of Code Updates
    Julen has been showing awesome progress with his SoC project. He has already completed implementing the first feature in the project roadmap, and his ideas on feature #2 looks excellent.
  • Going back home
    Today, I go back home, after spending around two weeks in Cambridge. It has been an exciting and productive visit – I got the chance to interact with a lot of people, and to do a lot of brainstorming on some of the problems that have been bugging us, and my personal TODO list for the next few months seems to be quite interesting.
  • Some statistics
    People often wonder about the exact number of OLPC XO-1 laptops out there. Till date,
    Number of laptops shipped: 390,000
    Number of laptops being built per month (currently): 50,000
    That would be, I guess, one of the single largest Fedora derivative deployments out there :-) .

  • I am visiting the OLPC offices at Cambridge, Massachusetts for two weeks. The CCU->LHR->BOS flight was a bit painful (around 26 hours, including the wait time at Heathrow), but apart from that, things seem to be in an excellent state.
  • Was quite shocked to see this in the dev_at_l10n.openoffice.org list, glad to see that things have been sorted out.
