Intel joins One Laptop Per Child initiative
The OLPC got a major boost today with the announcement that Intel has joined the organization and will serve on its board of directors. No doubt, Intel wouldn't mind seeing the OLPC's low-cost Linux laptop's AMD Geode processor replaced by one of its own chips.
More specifically, Intel said it expects to "explore collaborations involving technology and educational content."
OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte stated, "Intel joins the OLPC board as a world leader in technology, helping reach the world's children. Collaboration with Intel means that the maximum number of laptops will reach children."
