Pathfinder in Nigeria

First contacts

• I've emailed Mike Egboh, our Nigeria Chief of Party (country office head) to introduce him to the project. He will be here in Boston for the 6/23 & 6/24. I'm trying to get some time with him then. Not sure if I'll be able to email or talk with him before he arrives, though. Wondering if I might set something up with him and someone(s) at OLPC. Mike is a powerful force in terms of getting things done in Nigeria.

• I've also started talking to our COMPASS project people, which is another huge project we have in Nigera that involves an Education component with links to many schools.

• Intern is looking into this. Chris Maire (User:PIOLPCIntern-1-Talk-Blog-WikiContribs- Marching).

Ways to help OLPC?

..looking to see how our projects in Nigeria might help with the OLPC

• SJ mentioned connections to the teachers being of use. I'll enquire about that.
• Is there a Nigeria deployment group that I should be getting to know?
• what else?
