Anyone out there want to get their grubby little hands on an OLPC XO 1.5 laptop?
If so then this could be your chance, because the guys over at OLPC are making thirty of these nifty little numbers available to anyone (Well ok, its only open to developers) that would like one. All they ask of in return is that you help out by working on the software for the XO!
Now that can’t be bad can it?
If you are interested then you had better head off over to the OLPC site and follow the instructions, there is only thirty remember.
