Hi, Last night at sugarcamp, we(people from the Olin college OLPC chapter) were asked to come up with a list of roadblocks we have run into in trying to volunteer effectively. Mel Chua asked me to forward it to these lists, so here is the list in text format:
we have to come up with jobs ourselves, and we're not too good at it we don't know what we can do that is useful when we are told what to do, we have to check with other people to make sure it's ok we don't have easy access to cool things that are going on in OLPC that would get people excited -for example - it would make people excited just to hear accounts of deployments most meetings happen when we are in class and we don't know what happened or give input - especially with commute (it takes us 1;30 hrs to get here) it's difficult to find out what OLPC does beyond the broad mission-statement sort of thing it took me 6 months to figure out how to use irc, i still don't know where trac is olpc-dev list emails are kind of over my head where are things? (on wiki, etc) note - if you teach us how stuff works we can tell more people/translate the information I would like to develop activities, but up until now I didn't even know it was up for grabs Thanks for listening! Yours Truly, Elsa Culler
