There's a pretty active crew out in the Chicago area - some good volunteers that should be tapped to ping on this - some may be able to chime in here with more info (Bob, Hans, Sheila, Larry, Fransisco, Ben, Karen, Sarah - are you here?)
Sean, you may want to ping http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-chicago, and see http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Chicago_Interest_Group - I and others can intro you to people. They are mainly on the mailing lists (in particular, that regional mailing list) rather than IRC. The IMSA chapter is also there - they've been out to Boston to do some deployment work, have a lot of good resources and are in a good position to help with this since they're a statewide public magnet school and have people like https://www3.imsa.edu/president/bio (Max is awesome and also the former State Superintendent of Education in Illinois) and alumni (hello, April-Hope and Jason!) who have gone on to do Sugar stuff at their colleges. --Mel Sean DALY wrote: > After just a little digging, I found the e-mails of the actual > teachers on the committee (as well as the Governor, the school > district head, and the Co.
