Thanks to the great volunteers who joined the conf-call: Now comes the fun part pulling together what may well be the biggest community summit OLPC/Sugar have ever had -- with a core focus on Deployment Realness around the SF Bay area /and/ deep testimonials / skill-building / expert educator-implementor sessions from around the world.
Hosted at San Francisco State University, right downtown, where Open Internet Culture began 40 years ago (or so it's argued!) Expected to be co-hosted in SF dovetailing right alongside the Internet Archive's Oct 21-22 "Books in Browsers" worldwide summit, not yet announced at http://archive.org reminding us all the keep our content strategies Real! Organizers are just now beginning to reach our to truly special guests around the world, so our polished event page http://olpcSF.org will go live well before end of August. Starting soon with http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SanFranciscoBayArea/OLPCSF_Community_Summit_2010 but with a High Impact main page much like http://Realness.org, opening a warm welcome, to large and small deployment professionals and volunteers worldwide. It will be so exciting to finally meet the California crowd all together, many of whom have still never met each other now the "global silent heros" of our EdTech movement -- not just Silicon Valley but also real Valley Girls like Caryl Bigenho hopefully inviting several up from her rapidly expanding OLPC-SOCAL Gang! The Scoop: SFSU's Prof of Open Source & Free Beer Sameer Verma is in charge, with his truly exceptional OLPC-SF community, and welcomes all -- but please be patient as details emerge in the coming month. Just watch out world for The no-nonsense, no-grudges, no-paparazzi REAL-as-it-Gets OLPC/Sugar party you will never forget :-) _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
