How to apply for an XO

If you have tried working with an emulator and need a physical XO to develop on, please send mail to the developer at laptop dot org email alias with the following information:
1. Name
2. Email address
3. Employer (if any), University/College
4. Shipping address and instructions
- name,
- address, (cannot be a post office box)
- city,
- postal code,
- country,
-telephone number, (we need this for the shipping companies)
5. any special instructions
- power adapter requirements (note that some countries are very picky in
customs about all devices needing the correct power adapters;
Argentina, for example, is particularly fussy.
- desired keyboard layout (we may or may not be able to oblige).
6. Quantity of machines desired
7. Description of your plans for the machine(s). Concrete proposals with defined
outcomes are much more likely to result in a system than "it would be cool to play
with these and demo them".
8. Description of your experience, both with hardware and software
Presuming your request is approved, a mail message will be sent to you with shipping information, or a regret. Note that some requests may be more feasible and applicable later in the project, when we have more machines available.
