Anyone who cares about free software, open source, education, educational technology, or access issues should read Ivan Krstić's damning summary of the OLPC project. He's got it all there, hitting every nail square. It's all there, it's all ugly, and it's well-done. I've been there and seen it, as I type this on a Mac Mini sitting beside a CentOS machine. It's what I've been thinking for a while now, put into words.
