Hi Everyone!
My name is Ohnenana Bosnu Kyeretwie. I'm from The Firstbyte Project, currenntly a Ghana-based NGO registered with the Registered General’s Department and incorporated as an independent non-profit making think-tank under the Ghana Companies Code of 1963, Act 1799.
I'll be using this blog to update you on developments within and around FIRSTBYTE as well as to share my thoughts with you on some vital issues relating to social networking in the digital age.

Via muti.co.za, I just came across this disheartening news report in InfoWorld about a new direction that the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) programme seems to be heading. The picture (thank you nirak @ flickr) expresses my fears but if you have been following the OLPC story over the last several years you will want to also read this article.
The folks at olpcnews.com have also been reporting on the issue and tend to have more (and more current) information than anyone else. Check out this olpcnews.com article about the speech by OLPC founder Negroponte about OLPC and XP, in which he is quoted as saying:
"Eventually Windows might be the sole operating system, and Sugar would be educational software running on top of it."
