Parent article: Changes at OLPC
The linked article doesn't go into a lot of details (nor is it usually easy to summarize such
things), but my first guess was that the key factors had to do with burnout (of someone who,
it seems, hasn't had much of a non-work life for the last 2 years), and personalities (he
specifically was upset about reporting to a non-technical manager). I would think time will
tell whether any of this is bad for OLPC or not. (Disclaimer: all this is just based on this
one article; I have seen little/nothing else about recent events at OLPC).
