The Deployments page summarizes actual regional deployments of OLPC laptops.

There are many other interest groups, user groups, and advocacy groups around the world enthused about OLPC's mission and the XO laptop.

Infrastructure that can be used in forming groups:

Groups might also set up their own Jabber server, since there isn't one set up for XO owners as a whole, due to scale and cost issues.
