The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation on Monday revived its Give One, Get One (G1G1) program on Amazon.com.

Consumers in the U.S. can now buy one of the open-source, Linux-based XO laptops for themselves and donate another one to a needy child for $399. Don't want a laptop but want to help? Donate one of the devices to OLPC for $199 per machine.

International shipping will be handled by Amazon's UK Web site, and will not be available until December 16.

In an effort to drum up support for its laptops, OLPC started its G1G1 program in November 2007 with a short-term, two-week promotion. Prior to this program, supporters could not purchase the $200 computers for themselves.

OLPC announced plans to ship via Amazon in September. The organization was dealt a blow earlier this year when it lost its CTO as well as the support of Intel.

Michail Bletsas, OLPC's chief connectivity officer, told Gearlog in January that Intel's departure was "pretty disappointing, but at the end of the day, it seems that all Intel cared about was putting laptops in the hands of kids, as long as they were Intel Inside laptops."

OLPC soon tapped another tech giant - Microsoft. OLPC announced in May that it would release laptops with support for Windows. "Free" and "open source" are not usually two of Microsoft's favorite words, but Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer at Microsoft, said the company's goal in joining OLPC was to "make technology more relevant, accessible and affordable for students."
