New G1G1 Users notes

You got your XO from the Give 1 Get 1 program. Now what?

• open it up, power up

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Getting_Started

The leaflet the comes with XO has enough information to get you started. including a URL for more information http://laptop.org/en/laptop/start

• now what? make it do something useful
  • navigate user interface - activities rather than files
  • explore activities - installed applications for creating and editing
  • connect
• so what? how can I use this
  • lightweight laptop - create / edit - text, images, audio, video
  • internet browser
• what's missing? no OLPC-type feeling
  • not a school deployment - OLPC assumes 1,000s of XO are shipped and distributed by a school program which includes localization, training, support, mesh network
  • resources specifically for G1G1 Givers

More information

• laptop - hardware, software, support
• OLPC project overview
• G1G1 community

Also you can find information at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Getting_Started .

In a school deployment, there would be some support at the early stages. The idea is for the community to take part and share.
