Dr. Jimmy Rodgers, Director-General of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, addresses a plenary session at the PacINET 2007 conference in Honiara, Solomon Islands. He speaking here about the first deployment in the Pacific Region of the OLPC 'XO' laptop.

(Full disclosure: I doctored this image a little, and superimposed a separate shot of the laptop's screen over the original. The display on the laptop in the foreground, in other words, is from the same machine during the same talk, but taken from a different photo.)
