Dailymotion Partners with the One Laptop Per Child Foundation

Share on Tumblr

The OLPC foundation [1] develops and distributes the XO computer, better known as the “$100 laptop” [2]. It is designed to be an affordable educational tool for children in developing countries.

Beneath its toylike exterior, the XO is a very advanced device with a rotating screen, dual laptop-tablet modes, a regular color display for photos and videos and a high-contrast black-and-white mode for daylight visibility. It sports wifi, is capable of creating local computer-to-computer networks, can be charged using a ripcord or solar panel, has a durable rubberized keyboard, webcam, microphone, and speakers. Above all else, however, it has a robust Linux-based OS and an user interface, named “Sugar”, designed specifically for children.

With all the bells and whistles above, the OLPC is not, unfortunately, compatible with the Adobe Flash player that Dailymotion and other video sharing sites rely on.

Dailymotion has therefore partnered with the OLPC foundation to
consider new projects involving video, and to create a dedicated space to save the videos created by XO users: olpc.dailymotion.com [3]. This page begins with the content of the Dailymotion OLPC group and hopes to bring together fun and educational videos for children from 6 to 16 years-old. If you produce videos for this audience, [4] we encourage you to contribute to and help animate this group.

Hello Children of the World!

[1] More info on the laptop and the foundation at laptop.org
[2] Yes, it costs more than $100 for the moment, but that should change…
[3] The videos are encoded in ogg, Vorbis Theora
[4] The should be appropriate for children, of course.

    I’m a volunteer, tutoring and mentoring children, in the city of Detroit. A computer for every child in this city could change the lives of our kids and their families; it would change the future of our city. I agree with USA Mothers, I would love to save the world but our city is in a state of depression, help us! Overseas productions may be cheaper abroad but has destroyed our economy, it may cost more here but let’s bring this program to our children. Charity begins at home.

    The OLPC computers don’t support Flash, they are Open Source throughout and avoid proprietary software. Daily Motion publishes its video in Flash but will now make video available in Ogg format for OLPC users.
    OLPC is a long shot, hasn’t achieved its price goal yet and the Foundation’s fortunes go up and down with various partnerships. The computer that’s been produced so far totally rocks, though, according to reports we hear from people who’ve bought one.
