One Laptop Per Child - OLPC

I think OLPC is a really, really cool project.

I've been following it from a safe distance for some time and I was quite pleased when they decided to build the software platform around Free and Open Source Software and especially that they decided to use Python as part of the foundation for Sugar (their Human Interface).

Yesterday I decided to download and install the Emulator and the bits and pieces missing on my computer to get a working SDK. There are lots of ideas for projects on the developer's wiki but I'm thinking that I'll try to port my Pentago game and AI player first. It was written using PyGame which is, among a lot of other projects, being ported at the moment. Hopefully it will work out of the box.
