Dear all, Please take a look at the newly updated Give 1, Get 1 details at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/G1G1_2008 and correct anything that looks out of place. Thanks to everyone who has worked on it; please also update links to G1G1 pages, and any pages that refer to last year's program.
Translators : the start of the page hasn't been translated, but the program is now more reliably called "Give 1, Get 1" or G1G1 everywhere. Please add other community media and sites you know about to our [[community media]] page and Flickr stream, and add translations of the three intro paragraphs. While the initial launch on Nov 17 will only ship to US addresses, much of the publicity will be global, and this is an chance to solicit interest and discussion in other countries where the campaign will expand later. We've updated a section on how to get involved with support; please take a look at the last few paragraphs again. I'm planning to blog about this tonight and send an abbreviated copy (and link to the wiki page) to all of the active OLPC lists and related lists/blog owners, starting with those at [[OLPC:Outreach gang]]. On that point -- we need a few community members interested in PR to help with this and less significant announcements, so that we can spread the word about other OLPC collaborations that don't quite merit a newswire broadcast. Drop me a line offlist if you are interested. Finally, please add more questions about G1G1 to the [[G1G1 FAQ]] and [[XO Giving/International]] pages. The better we answer hard questions in advance, the more we can help people focus on ways to get involved (or to discover that this isn't the program they thought and avoid misunderstandings later!). Warmly, SJ _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
