Fwd: [IAEP] The OLPC Australia programme in action

Hi everyone,

AbiWord is the foundation of the OLPC Word Processing program "Write".
As such we've played an important part in the software of the OLPC
project. There are 1-2 million OLPC XO's distributed around around the
world. Within Australia approximately 20,000 have been distributed to
remote communities already with plans to distribute up 400,000.

Here is a nice video showing the XO's in action.

It's great to see our software being used for such a fantastic application.

Cheers

Martin
