Emtec has launched a new program called “One Laptop Per Hacker.” (named after the "One Laptop Per Child" project) The goal is to build a more robust developer community around the upcoming Gdium netbook platform.

The Gdium netbook uses a customized version of Mandriva Linux which runs from a G-Key (removable USB flash drive)

Developers who are selected to be part of the program will get a pre-release version of the Gdium netbook, including the G-key & a chance to work with the Gdium development team.

Developers also get:

• Access to online services for developers
• Full Support of the Gdium development team, and access to key members of the Gdium Foundation.
• The OLPH Group on Gdium.Com with
  • Blogging, forums and user pages support.
  • An RSS Feed with news about the Gdium and all the exiting news coming from the OLPH programme
  • Software project management (source code and task management)
  • Access to a bugtracker
