Re: quick mini-conference update.
Ok, hopefully that can be discussed at the mini-conf, which I still can't attend...good to get on the plan for the more planned one at end of may...probably best if led from the paid OLPC staff side, right?

No, it's actually best if we get significant community help planning events like these. OLPC has a very limited number of core developers (although we'll be hiring more in the coming months) and anything that lets them *actually code XO software* instead of doing other stuff is Greatly Appreciated. Just to be clear: PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ORGANIZE if you want a larger conference in a few months. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
