I know it is intended for children, but delivering gis data to people in the developing world - who may have trouble finding fresh water, with pest management, etc… will help them grow food and live better lives.

These computers are going to challenging places, I hope they can do a lot of help people overcome those challenges.

I’ve also just finished a paper for one of my grad classes in urban planning on the democratization of technology - focusing on the planner and Citizen\Planner, but I somehow left out the olpc project. I will rectify that before it ever publishes.

If you have any good info on open source GIS or GIS on the XO (olpc) please let me know. DSchmettererer at absolutely positively no more spam yahoo dot com.

All the best,
