Thanks to the dozen great writers/communicators who've RSVP'd and
committed to attend! I've posted all your flight dates here:

Fantastic News -- 3 absolutely stellar volunteers have stepped forward
keeping us all on track:
1) Before the sprint, Mark Battley (Kenya, Tanzania) will be hacking
Sugar video tutorials, and then showing us all how -- with his amazing
new Sugar-on-a-Stick equipment & rig that stands to empower all, to make
their own Khan Academy / Lynda.com-like personal Sugar tutorials (very
compelling shorts vids) around FotoToon, Scratch, Etc.
2) During the Apr 6-10 sprint itself, like he did incredibly in Sept
2008, Seth Woodworth will do his very best act as Editor helping all
keep focus on our actual http://laptop.org/manual and Help Activity, no
matter how long or short your own chapter! Most Crucially, Seth can
provide us stylistic guidelines (text & screenshots) as well as package
it up in a browser as best he can, cognizant of our always-evolving doc
dreams, eg:
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2012-March/thread.html#15062 and
http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2012-March/thread.html#15130 .
Plz all go out of your way to support Seth, offering to volunteer for
this absolutely priceless endeavor!!
3) An action-packed social calendar is coming together thanks to Laura
de Reynal, so you can get to know Boston in the evenings, kicking back
with new Sugar/OLPC volunteers bringing exciting new from far reaches of
the planet, /never forgetting why we're all here :)/
THANK YOU All for attending, _working your asses off on your favorite
chapter most important,_ remembering to RSVP ([email protected]) so I can
confirm OLPC HQ's small office in fact has room for you! And until we
meet in exactly 2 weeks, keep your eyes on our wiki and evolving plans here:

plans, fill us in!)
*
Virtual Romance Ain't :) * Book Sprints depend on the in-person dynamic
around 1 single table. Still, if in-person attendance is abolutely
impossible, please talk to Caryl Bigenho on our public
list<mailto:[email protected]> *[email protected]*
(http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/library) if you are motivated to write
a particular chapter, but cannot attend in person, thanks!! EG. We're
thrilled OLPC Australia's Education Manager Tracy Richardson hopes to
contribute remotely.*
*
*Accommodations Are:* Everyone's responsible for their OWN housing in
Boston, but if you're completely stuck call me and I just MIGHT be able
to help!!
