The green Linux box: Koolu!
The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) software shown in the demo is a part of a project described here.
After watching this, I found that there is a OLPC software development kit live CD image available at Red Hat . It appears to be very innovative and full-featured package — with web browser, video chat app, word processor, paint program, calculator, music synthesizer, etoys (hard to describe, a little reminiscent of Apple hypercard), news feed reader, and ebook reader. Not bad for a laptop machine that sells for $200 (targetted for $100 each if and when volume picks up).
Mike, Caleb and I enjoyed the Akron parade this afternoon. Though we were cold (and tired) by the time it ended, it was great fun. And we really enjoyed the hot sloppy joes Grandma and Jenn made when we got home.
