Waveplace is pleased to announce the OLPC REALNESS SUMMIT.
No hype, no bashing, no wireless, no room service. Just straight
talk about what works, what doesn't, and why we do what we do.
WHERE: Maho Bay Camps on the island of St John, US Virgin Islands
(steps from the beach)
WHEN: May 28, 29, 30, 31
HOW MUCH: $300 for four nights, including lodging
Twelve invited talks and discussions, three a day, from five
continents and the Caribbean:
* WAVEPLACE: Tim Falconer
* OLPC: Adam Holt
* SUGAR LABS: Bernie Innocenti
* ASIA: Mike Dawson from the OLPC Afghanistan
* SOUTH AMERICA: Marta Voelcker from Brazil and Carlos Rabassa
from Plan Ceibal, Uruguay
* AFRICA: Beth Santos from the Step Up OLPC (São Tomé and Príncipe*)*
* EUROPE: Christoph Derndorfer from OLPC Austria
* CARIBBEAN: Lunise Cerin from Haiti, formerly of USAID and Save
the Children, and John Engle of Haiti Partners
* NORTH AMERICA: Christine Murakami from Columbus School for
Girls, Ohio
All of this will be happening at the same time as our St John
mentor workshop and pilots, which take place over ten days (May 24
to June 2). We'll be training 40 new mentors, many for Haiti, and
working with 60 elementary children from the islands three
schools. So all summit attendees will get to see XOs in action,
with mentors and children working together. You can also sign up
to take the full ten day workshop, which would make you eligible
to travel for Waveplace to one of our upcoming pilots.
We're very excited about this event! I hope many who love XOs
from around the world can attend so we can compare stories and
solutions.

Please help spread the word by forwarding this announcement to
people, groups, and mailing lists you know.
Thanks,
Tim
