Hello Friends,
OLPC will have a booth this weekend (2/20-2/22) at the Southern California Area
LInux Expo (SCaLE). This is a large conference (up to 1000) of open-source
aficionados including programmers. It is a great chance to recruit folks for
our team of volunteer developers of Activities for the XO.
I spent a large chunk of time in the OLPC booth last year, and one
significant problem was that many people in the booth (including myself)
didn't have a good understanding of the politics and/or current status of
things.
this year things are _much_ messier, I've been trying to understand
things, but it's been hard.
could folks who know what's going on make it a point to check mail
frequently this weekend so that as questions come up that the people there
disagree on the answer to the question can be fired off and gat a fairly
prompt answer? it won't stop the wrong answer then, but it can at least
get clarified rather than repeating the wrong thing all weekend (or worse,
giving several answers)
if there is a good 'state of OLPC/Sugar/XO/etc' document to point at (such
as the info that came out in the 'Please update etoys in 8.2.1' thread a
couple of weeks ago), it would really help make sure everyone is on the
same page.
I will have my two XO's there, I will try to have them running different
flavors of DebXO (from USB sticks if nothing else, but quite possibly from
the NAND), since the future direction is to have them run relativly
standard distros, having examples of the different distros would be nice.

I am putting together a brochure to pass out at the conference and want to
include information about some of the projects and proposals we have. Could
you all take a look at the page listed below and make any additions and updates
you would like included? I need this done by Wednesday Noon (PT). Thanks!

P.S. Excuse the multiple copies of this if you are subscribed to more than one
list. I will get several copies myself.
