I took my XO to work this week and one of my co-workers was really interested in it. He looked and saw that the G1G1 expired on December 31.

Does anyone know if OLPC will be doing another G1G1 or G2G2 anytime in the near future?

Thanks,

Craig

Doesn't sound like it from this interview excerpt:

LAPTOP MAG: Many people don’t want to see Give 1, Get 1 end. Will a program like this ever be available again?

Nicholas Negroponte: We are exploring two parallel routes. One is doing a Give One or Give Many for diaspora of specific countries - Ethiopia and Iran immediately. The other is doing a Give 1, Get 1 in specific countries: Italy and UK are in discussion. As for in the USA, maybe next Christmas.
