OLPC coverage

One area I'd like to see more coverage in FWN is on the XO/OLPC project,
and since I have been on the OLPC community list for some time now, I'm
going to step up and take on covering the activity in the OLPC SIG and
selected coverage of the OLPC Community News and create a new beat for
this, effective with this next issue. Does anyone have an issue with this?

The XOs were a huge draw at the recent Ohio Linux Fest, and I think
raising the profile of Fedora's foundational involvement in the project
will pay dividends for the Fedora Project more broadly.
