After 3 years, in dozens of countries, we challenge the world to put the story of OLPC accomplishment on the map. Photographically, telephonically, viscerally -- the passionate doers of our community movement now have the chance to connect more intimately than ever before. No matter their deployment size, their age, their creed. Implementer gurus and connected social cartographers & implementers across our global community of One Laptop per Child (http://blog.laptop.org) and http://SugarLabs.org will fly to Boston Dec 27-31 -- to physically map our geo-social fabric of small/medium/large deployments worldwide. In completely new and different ways -- on and around CMU/Nick Doiron's rapidly evolving deployment/adoption/volunteering map: http://olpcMAP.net Just like a Book Sprint (writing an entire book within a week, like http://laptop.org/manual) we'll beautify, rigorize and publish this community product within 5 business days! We're looking for the very best talent globally to join us, to lay critical seeds Connecting-The-Dots of OLPC/Sugar/ICT4Education around learning, support and content knowledge.
