Today I finish my first week of my new job at One Laptop Per Child. It's true, you can get paid for writing free software (and saving the world) -- who'd have thunk?
At the moment, I'm working on IPv6 networking and Linux kernel support for autoconfiguration.
Helpful Wikipedia articles to explain some of the above: OLPC, IPv6.
BTW, ipv6.org doesn't resolve to v4 or v6 addresses, but www.ipv6.org does.
Greetings from Bavaria
We are a small software company based in Bavaria, Germany, and make access control software for WiFi networks, based in Linux. My gut feel tells me that our software might be useful for the School Server, and I am trying to find someone to confirm this with.
Could you help me out by pointing me in the right direction ?
Best regards
Paul Cullen
P.S. here is a link to an article I published recently, describing what we are up to.

Mesh networking
The OLPC laptops are actually using a very cutting-edge mesh network -- the first implementation of the new 802.11s specification.
