¶ OLPC XO-1

I was given my first XO, a B1, by Jim Getty's at Linux.conf.au 2007. It was a prize given to two attendees, selected by Jim, who had emailed him with ideas for how they would contribute towards the OLPC project if they were to recieve one.

I gave the B1 to some local FOSS people after receiving a B2. I was given another B2 as part of my OpenEC work; a project to replace the closed-source embedded controller firmware in the XOs. I took these two with me when I went to Cambridge to intern in July 2007. When I was leaving, the first C1's had come back from production, so I asked Jim for one of these, and also took a B3 with me - both modded with headers for the CPU and EC serial ports.

These days I have the modded B3 running Debian, thanks to Andres' debxo scripts. It was used to prototype this wiki, and currently runs mpd to provide me with study music.

I have two C2, or mass production, XOs that I use for demoing and at talks. These run the 8.2 Sugar software release.
