Kevin, When you get in country - find out what those there want - the little "why can't we get this crap" kind of stuff - cheaper the better ;) and let us know - I think we can get some support from PLUG to get together a care pkg. (new version of apt-get..?.) Once you are near your half way day, think about how PLUG might be able to help your region - maybe we could set up a sister city LUG or something - coordinate Arabic translations of apps? get a grant for OLPCs for a school? I don't know, but after you have been there a while something should make sense to you - let us know! Keep your head down, and your robot out front.
