The Fedora OLPC Project
One Laptop per Child
| "In the face of the massive wealth creation that the technology industry has created for so many, we have found it unconscionable that so many could be without the tools and resources to join the digital ecosystems of the 21st century." Matthew Szulik, CEO of Red Hat, as quoted from Red Hat Magazine |
The Fedora OLPC Project aims to assist Red Hat and the non-profit OLPC Project in putting inexpensive laptop computers in the hands of children throughout the world. These laptops are simple hardware that is meant to provide valuable learning tools to children, even in developing nations where such technology might otherwise be unavailable to them.
