Hi all, Some people may remember that a lot of OLPC XOs were handed out at linux.conf.au 2008 with the idea being that if we didn't build something awesome on them we'd pass them on.
I suspect my household are not the only people who have one sitting around in their house and not hacking on it and feeling a bit guilty whenever we look at it. The enthusiastic OLPC Wellington Testers (in NZ) don't have enough XOs over there and are interested in getting more. We've decided to send our XO to join them. If anyone else in Sydney would like to ship more XOs in the same package, please let me know (off-list) by October 9th and we'll see if we can't get them together and save on shipping. (If you're elsewhere in Australia and also want to send yours, I can pass on an NZ address to send to or you could take it to LCA if you're going.) NOTE: there are periodic OLPC Friends hackfests in Sydney too, so before deciding to send your own XO kiwi-wards, consider joining their announce list at http://lists.olpcfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/olpcfriends-announce or asking on http://lists.olpcfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/olpcfriends if someone has a use for yours. Ours is heading to NZ because they asked so nicely. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
