Tonight I read an interesting journal called the Free Software Magazine 
<http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/>. It has oodles of articles on 
Free (or Open Source) Software and a whole swag of issues relating to 
it. Well worth a read and adding your name to a free subscription.

In a recent article, author Terry Hancock has a good discussion of 
the one laptop per child project 
<http://blog.freesoftwaremagazine.com/users/t.hancock?p=117&more=1&page=1>. 
It is an ambitious project that I have mentioned before about putting 
millions of cheap computers into the hands of third world children.

    "It's not about some kind of weird idea of charity or some kind of
    magnanimous gesture--it's about putting tools in the hands of people
    who can use them. It's about taking a gamble on the ingenuity of
    people all over the world by making a real investment in them."
