"This week, Uruguay became the first-ever real, non-pilot deployment site of OLPC XO laptops."
I'd probably be linking to Ivan Krstić's 1/12/2007 first hand, detailed, picture-rich report on the distribution of OLPC laptops at School Number 109 in the small Uruguayan town of Florida, even if I wasn't half Uruguayan.
Over the next few months, a total of 100,000 XO laptops will be distributed in Uruguay. According to Krstić, who is the OLPC Director of Security Architecture, the Government of Peru has just signed for over 250,000 machines.
