The long-awaited 2008 G1G1 program was announced last week. It will launch on November 17th in the United States, to be followed by similar launches in other countries early next year. A steady stream of new photos, videos, and other media have been published to the OLPC Flickr and wiki media portals since then.

The main site for G1G1 will be hosted at Amazon (http://amazon.com/xo), who is providing fulfillment this year to US recipients. Other materials planned to be available for purchase and download during the campaign include an updated manual, which Anne Gentle is revising this week. A print-on-demand version of the manual version from the August book sprint is available from Lulu now<ref>Currently $13 for a 240-pg book</ref>.

Web developers are still needed to help with layout and design of certain public facing webpages.<ref>Contact : wiki-gang@lists.laptop.org</ref>
