Talk:Jam in a box
Contents
copied from sj's email
Running a jam takes 20-40 hours of planning and oversight spread among 2 or 3 people; it is primarily worth it for its capacity to inspire the participants to iterate the process. Having laptops available to play with is useful. It would be nice to have a slow fanout that starts to demand jam boxes in November, and the possibility of getting one can be a reason for organizers to plan ahead and clearly publicize their schedule and interest from participating teams.
Mel has a Jam Box spec, likely updated since Taipei -- is this a good time to test it out? Are there any customs issues that would keep us from sending a box or receiving it back?
JIAB request: Mel Chua (Seattle)
When and where
April 15 - 30, 2008, Seattle/Bellingham, WA, USA.
Who
- Mel Chua will take the machines from Boston to Seattle and back, and be ultimately responsible for their safe return. (Has 2 machines already)
- Seth Woodworth and Iain Davidson will also be around and heavily utilizing machines. (Have 1 machine each, so 2 total already)
See userpages for contact info and further qualifications.
How many
Requesting 5-7 loaners. Ideally we'd like to have one XO per team at each event (expecting 10-20 teams for each, but some volunteers will already have XOs, and we can borrow some locally.)
JIAB request: Mel Chua (New York)
When and where
March 28-31, 2008, Manhattan, NY, USA
Who
- Mel Chua can take the machines from Boston to NYC and back if needed, but really hopes some Boston-area people will be making the trip so she doesn't have to. She will be ultimately responsible for their safe return.
- The good people at UNICEF - Chris Fabian, Erica Kochi, Seth Herr, and a numerous crew too large to mention
See userpages for contact info and further qualifications.
How many
Requesting 10-20 loaners for the weekend. We are trying to borrow local XOs as well, so leads to existing machines in NYC would be excellent.
