The OLPC Deployment Team: Walter Bender, David Cavallo, Carla Gomez Monroy, Edgar Ceballos This is a generalized guide to a large-scale deployment of one laptop per child. It is a working document that reflects lessons learned from our initial pilots and deployments. Additional ideas will be incorporated as we learn from each other. Every deployment includes planning (pre-deployment), execution (deployment), and support (post-deployment). Topics that need to be considered in detail in any deployment include: 1.
