Here’s the *Official* OLPC Press Release:
http://csounds.com/OLPC_SoundSampleArchive.doc.zip
While you are checking out the links and downloading the samples, you
might want to check out all the cool
CsoundXO stuff that has been happening on the OLPC XO laptop:
Over these past two months the CsoundXO Developers – especially John
ffitch, Victor Lazzarini, Andres Cabrera,
Jacob Joaquin, Cesare Marilungo, and Greg Thompson have really pushed
out some new and important tools
and activities for the XO. Links to some of these are below.
A most important result of this development initiative is the fact
that John and Victor got the CsoundXO subset of Csound5 to be FULLY
SYNCHRONIZED and TOTALLY COMPATIBLE with the current release of
Public Csound (and automated the process so that they will ALWAYS be
in sync!) and Andres has a CsoundXO manual that is fully synchronized
as well!!!!!
