LinuxFest Northwest 2008/Attendees

XO Laptop / OLPC presence at conference

Please list yourself here, if you are planning to attend the conference.

(indicate: if you will be, giving a presentation, bringing an XO, or interesting in purchasing XO, if available)

Attendees

• Iain Davidson - XO x 2, presenter/vendor table, 2 to 3
• Mel Chua - XO x 2, Presenter, running workshops and tutorials on developing/contributing/etc for various audiences. Willing to run a Jam, but not during LFNW proper.
• Seth Woodworth - XO, presenter

Possiblities

• Group purchase of XO Laptops, if purchase numbers are high, and OLPC shipping can happen in time.
  • NO GUARANTEE  : Purely speculation with the Give Many Get Many (GmGm) program.

    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)
