  • afaik, this isn't how the gmgm program works... you may want to talk to SJ about the current status but I'm fairly sure you have to submit a proposal about what each laptop is going to be used for and who it's going to - think developers' program-ish app. Mchua 01:50, 14 February 2008 (EST)
  • XS Server, if participation XO's is high, equipment vendor may sponsor conference 'XS Server' for sharing.
    who's going to set this up? this would be sweet, though! Mchua 01:51, 14 February 2008 (EST)
  • If enough presentations are scheduled, option of a 'OLPC / XO Laptop ' track at the conference.
    Well, I wouldn't want to take over LFNW. There's plenty we can (and should) learn from the non-OLPC people as well. Might make sense to have this as a "teaser," and then an all-OLPC follow-up activity right after the conference? (A Jam, even.) Mchua 01:51, 14 February 2008 (EST)
