July 2007
Somebody is finally
  thinking of the
     children!
The Prophet

                           Children


Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you
cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

One forward, One right



                                        An interesting way to
                                       draw a circle in TurtleArt

                                          One step forward,
                                         wait for one second,
                                       one degree to the right,
                                          repeat 360 times

                                         The wait allows you
                                        to see the turtle draw
                                           the circle slowly

Mesh Networking
    Mesh does not require central hub-like

    Wireless mesh works even when the computer

    sleeps

FOSS: Free and Open Source
    When the project started FOSS was the only
●

    option that was flexible enough for this project
    No vendor lock-in on formats
●


    No royalties on redistribution
●


    No discrimination based on fields of endeavor
●


    Scalable global model for software and content

Activities, Not Applications
    There are no software applications. The laptop
●

    focuses children around quot;activities.quot;
    Activities are distinct from applications in their

    focus —collaboration and expression

    –

        Firefox becomes Browse

  • 7. The Prophet Children Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. -kahlil gibran
