Lettre de motivation
Hi Adam,
Following our phone meeting, find below our motivation letter for the new Paris Repair Center in France.
Our ambition
Our ambition is that the Paris Repair Center become:
- One of the best OLPC repair center about quality of work, productivity and reporting,
- The first support of the European G1G1 program users,
- The meeting point of all XO users in France,
- A XO supply center for OLPC pilot deployment in France.
Our force
People
Paris Repair Center could rely on all OLPC France staff. OLPC France is composed from around 15 people coming from very different ways but all joined to promote the OLPC project.
- Some people came from the OpenWRT project, a Linux dedicated to embedded device (see http://openwrt.org/) so they have very good hardware knowledge. For example: Xavier Carcelle and Florian Fainelli. Samuel Klein met them at FOSDEM 2007 in October 2007.
- Some people came from OLPC translation and work on OLPC French translation from month. For example: Samy Boutayeb which is OLPC language administrator for French.
- Some people came from pedagogy. For example Bastien Guerry which was at MediaLab from May 21 to May 25 and which is currently at Haïti to help OLPC pilot deployment.
- Some people create pedagogic contents. For example Hilaire Fernandes which work on DrGeo (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/DrGeo).
- Some people come from associative organizations. For example Kirsi Traore wich is cofounder of Dembe Sou, an organization to help children at Burkina Faso.
- Some people came from software development. For example Sebastien Adgnot which is web developer at Daily Motion and I, software architect and author of a Logo compiler (http://liogo.sourceforge.net/).
- Finally, one came from MediaLab: Miguel Alvarez which worked for OLPC few month ago.
Room
Paris Repair Center will be located at /tmp/lab (http://www.tmplab.org/) a hacker space near Paris hosting workshops, conferences and a lot of various technological activities in this 100 square meter underground space. This place allow us both to store a large amount of pieces, incoming XOs for repair and outgoing XO, and also to be a collaborative place where experimented people could meet newbie hacker. More /tmp/lab is located at Vitry-sur-Seine to few kilometers of the center of Paris, near a major train station and an important highway.
Projects
Paris Repair Center will supply XO to OLPC France. These XO will be used in three area:
- Promote: OLPC France plan to present at least one conference a month on the OLPC project. Our objective is both to promote the OLPC philosophy to french people and to motivate new volunteer. From the beginning of the year, OLPC France gave talk (our plan to give talk) to six conferences, including to the 9eme RMLL (http://2008.rmll.info/), where a very important community of educative content developers are expected. Each time, our talk are followed by workshops to let people handle few XOs. XOs coming from the Repair Center allow us to let more people handling and falling in love of the little green laptop.
- Support project: OLPC France support all local initiatives to create or adapt french content on the XO. More than ten projects are actually referenced on our wiki on very different domains: Software (Daily motion on the XO), Hardware (XS Server) or Educative (WindRose, Dr Geo II). OLPC France provides help (money, XOs, knowledge, ...) to people or community working on XO content. Recently, we decided to launch a XO Idea Contest to promote XO development in France before the next G1G1 Europe. XOs coming from the Repair Center allow us to distribute more XO then ensure that more and more people will develop content.
- Deployment: Deploying pilot is a good way to give XO to its primary target: children. So we organized "OLPC School day"s: one day to discover the XO for one educator and its students. We lent a "XO Demo Kit" (one XO laptop with some specific content) to some French schools and we work with NGO to deploy XOs to french defavorised people. XOs coming from the Repair Center allow us to put more XO in children's hand.
Our way of working
Following will be the way of working plan for the Paris Repair center.
- We plan to provide three levels of repairing depending of type of problem and knowledge of our team:
- Level 1: Basic diagnostic using an USB key, flash to a new build, ...
- Level 2: Single part replacement: battery, chargers,
- Level 3: Diagnose using Serial Adapters, Oscilloscope, more important part replacement: displays, touchpads, keyboards, ...
- Training Workshop: Paris Repair Center will begin works with two or three main people. Because the /tmp/lab organize every weeks a tuesday hacker workshop, we'll organize later training workshops to recrut more people depending of the number of XOs to repair.
- Delivery and packaging: Packaging and delivery will be charged to the users. Cost of repairing will include also the suggested pricing that you propose (batteries $20, chargers $15, keyboards $18, touchpads $20, display $70). Money that will gain in repairing XOs will be reused to cover delivery cost from US to France.
- Reporting: Reporting will include a list of all XO processed with serial numbers and parts changed. We could send you an Excel Reporting on a monthly basis with all tasks done. Reporting will include: number total of XO processed, number of repair by type, if possible estimated time to repair, ...
- Self-Service using our web site: Our web site will include a FAQ with a description of common issues to allow a self-service for users. Pricing for all parts and shipping cost will be displayed also.
Our next steps
We'll be on line for the 6 june repair central conference call.
If you agree with our proposal, our wish is to have a first shipment for about 30 XOs. Once repaired, 10 XO could be used for our idea contest and 15-20 XO could be used for pilots in French schools. Thought we don't have founds today, let us know shipment cost for this quantity, we'll try to do a donation for this amount.
Delivery address is:
/tmp/lab & 6Bis 6Bis rue Leon Geffroy 94400 Vitry sur Seine
We are at your disposal for more information about our proposal.
Best regards.
