Hey all,
It's great to hear about all the activity happening within the
grassroots community in June! I'm sure all of these events will
facilitate greater communication among us.
For the past few months, [EMAIL PROTECTED] members have been preparing for an
online conference as a platform for grassroots groups to talk about
their contributions to One Laptop per Child. That's how we came up
with the OLPC Grassroots Web Conference (GrassCon), an event we'll be
hosting on July 19th. Now for a shameless quote from the site:
The OLPC Grassroots Web Conference was started to increase
communication between grassroots projects, as well as increase the
general visibility of OLPC projects around the world. This ranges
from software/hardware development to pilot programs and public
awareness campaigns. We want to hear about what's going on, from the
mouths of those involved.
The theme of this conference will be "From Code to Kids". Presenters
will be helping us trace the path of XO Sugar activities from
software development to getting the activities into the hands of
children.
We will be holding the conference as a live streaming event with
participants from around the world. Conference goers will be able to
ask questions of presenters, and the entire conference will be
recorded and archived.
If you'd like to participate or help host the event, please get in
touch with me. All your help will be appreciated. Also, you can add
us on Twitter if you'd like to stay updated - our username is
olpcgrasscon.

GrassCon Coordinator
