Not much action here recently, but if you are still around, I think you
would be interested in a story on Advogato submitted today, discussing the
digital divide and the role of Linux:

"With respect to locating parts with lowered cost on software. There is one
candidate the would evenly fit the requirement. As of this writing, there
are several OS are out there having those properties, but there is only one
having a large developer base and community scattered around the globe that
can act as support contacts. The name is called GNU/Linux."
(---)
"Bridging the Digital Divide requires an enormous amount of work for the
techonology sector. A huge responsibility is placed on those who wish to
take up the  challenge. Current technologies in software, specifically, the
Linux OS is a good candidate to play the role."
