Dear members, volunteers, and friends of olpc.ch, As vice-president (or co-president) of the Swiss section of the One Laptop Per Child project, I wanted to update you a little bit with our work in progress and achievements so far.
This year, I will not be able to be present physically in Bern, because I am in Paris. Therefore I am proposing to tune in using Skype video, at some point during the meeting. My Skype ID is : levstudiom. It would be terrific to be able to follow the entire meeting remotely, but I imagine that such a webcast has to be prepared well in advance in order to function properly. Some of the topics I wanted to address are : - Contacts with other associations involved with children education : OLPC France, Janusz Korczak Gesellschaft, Le Cube (Issy-les-Moulineaux) - Participating in the ACM Interaction Design for Children conference - Validating our official Manifesto - Python training - Academic principles (a 2004 paper by Minsky and some thoughts on the classification of ludic activities by Caillois) - the support we have of Chris Mburu, from the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva Looking forward to hearing/seeing some of you later ! Michael.
