I contributed to OLPC during my time at Red Hat and beyond. For a while I was the only person in NYC with an XO and everyone used to swoon whenever I pulled it out. Sad to see it go, but happy that lots of the thinking and work behind it helped push the envelope in two ways; it led us to tablets and smartphones and got people thinking about using technology to seriously help improve and deliver education worldwide, especially in the places that could benefit the most, not just as an afterthought. While it definitely didn't the dent in the universe that we were looking for, at least not our universe, we can't say it didn't at least make a few scratches.
