Overview
Working with local community. First step is implementing and presentation track at Seattle ( Health Jam) and Bellingham ( LinuxFest Northwest 2008 ). Gathering local users in the area between Seattle , WA and Vancouver, BC (Canada) in demonstrating XO Laptop power and program ideologies. Linking developers, community support, children (testing, evaluation, feedback, and education together.
Gathering location will be at Bellingham's 'Public Market' which has regular performances and meeting spaces, along with child play area. Grassroots / organic food community meeting place for exchanging ideas about alternative energy, sustainable practices, community building, low cost food, and shopping area. This area is also well known for business locations of Terra Organica and Stuarts at the market Coffee House.
If enough XO Laptops available, will setup regular and ongoing public access events, allowing the public to experience the XO Laptops.
Plan:
- Open 'lab' environment, where the public can come in and use the laptops, experiment, share, take pictures... etc)
- Educational and contact information available for OLPC, BLUG, and others....
