OLPC project is considering using content from WikiMedia, and video files at
WikiMedia are stored in ogg theora format.  Have folks involved in the OLPC
project communicated with people at Xiph about supporting development of theora?
It looks like OLPC is well funded, and would be in a position to do that.

I've not heard from any of them personally. Perhaps you could try to get
a dialog going?

Note that at the current specs, the OLPC machine is going to have a lot
of trouble doing realtime theora encoding. Might be possible to do
something higher bitrate like the elphel camera does though.
