<incom> One Laptop Per Child

As a method of provoking some kind of discourse around - gasp - digital 
media in a multi-cultural digital arts context, I wanted to post this 
to the list. Several artists, composers, writers, code script folks, 
and many other creatives participated in the project.

The One Laptop Per Child is a global initiative to foster education in 
digital media throughout "under-developed" countries.

Bundled into the software for the One Laptop Per Child project, there 
will be a couple of compilations of electronic music to get the kids 
into the idea of contemporary composition and digital literacy. I 
donated beats, scratches, and various midi components for the project, 
as did several other electronic and digital media artists from a wide 
variety of cultures (and ethnic groups). The software is all open 
source, and the templates and core kernels are in Linux. The tracks are 
all remixable and come in separate components.

The software for the project was compiled with Jamendo:

The laptops will be released in November. Please check out the 
material! Debate/discussion is welcome!

in peace,
Paul aka Dj Spooky
