Oct 21/22 - 24 in San Francisco makes the most sense to me, given it will be the largest gathering of OLPC/Sugar/Realness implementors ever: (well over 30 RSVP'd so far, from 4+ continents, even before broad announcement!) http://olpcsf.org/CommunitySummit2010 Sameer Verma who arranged great hosting with SF State Univ here says we can accommodate 100 people. Mike Lee's been working hard on beautiful artistic announcements appearing here shortly, eg: http://flickr.com/photos/curiouslee The barcamp-style agenda already shows great Edu, Tech, Depl & Outreach tracks, growing fast after we all promote this in coming weeks :) http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SanFranciscoBayArea/OLPCSF_Community_Summit_2010#Possible_Topics In fact those volunteers who've been working hard putting this together have drawn heavily upon prior Sugar/XO/Realness Camps and Book Sprints, eg: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Events/MiniCamp_Paris_2009 May 2009 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ClassActs Sep 2009 http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Events/Sugarcamp_Bolzano_2009 Nov 2009 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SanFranciscoBayArea/OLPCSF_Community_Summit_2009 Nov 2009 http://realness.org May/June 2010 The group is considering a very small (perhaps $30) charge to help with T Shirts and potentially some partial funding of travel scholarships for those from outside North America. Not yet finalized, but remote access will also be strongly encouraged. Plz join the Very Awesome volunteer organizers here if you can!! http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-sf _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
